A new Stagefright vulnerability has been discovered and this time it looks even scarier

03 October, 2015
It seems the Stagefright storm hasn't quite passed after all. As most of you might remember, a few months ago a scary vulnerability in one of Android's core multimedia libraries was uncovered and found to affect almost every device powered by Google's OS, as early as 2.2 Froyo. Since then, there have been no reports of an actual exploit utilizing the bug, but, naturally, it gave the whole industry quite a scare, triggering a quick reaction from many OEM's like Motorola and Samsung, who issued emergency fixes.

Isn't it a good way to earn much money to sell these bugs to Google? If Google pays you 1000000 for a chrome bug that affects security, what amount of money you can get for such deep bugs in Android?
