Two critical bugs and more malicious apps make for a bad week for Android
The vulnerabilities, which are similar in severity to the Stagefright family of bugs disclosed last year, have been fixed in updates Google began distributing Tuesday.

That gives attackers crude blueprints for exploiting vulnerabilities that remain unpatched on millions of devices.
