Whilst Windows 10 had most Critical and Urgent patches, right in it's first weeks, webbrowsers are another achilles, Firefox no exception. Just out with version 40 which includes a Stagefright patch: http://www.eweek.com/enterprise-apps/firefox-...-one-for-stagefright.html
----------------------------------------Google just pushed a patch to my Android tablet, though it had tested as not vulnerable. Check your System Tray, expect a full screen announcement it's there. [Edit 1 times, last edit by Former Member at Aug 12, 2015 6:47:19 PM] |

Yay I am not vulnerable to certify-gate.
----------------------------------------As for stagefright, Vodafone Message+ (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vodafone.messaging) already has the auto retrive option deselected so all good there too. There is also this detector for stagefright by ESET: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.eset.stagefrightdetector  - AMD Ryzen 5 1600AF 6C/12T 3.2 GHz - 85W - AMD Ryzen 5 2500U 4C/8T 2.0 GHz - 28W - AMD Ryzen 7 7730U 8C/16T 3.0 GHz [Edit 1 times, last edit by Falconet at Aug 20, 2015 6:54:37 PM] |
