Unknown hackers have been exploiting four Android vulnerabilities that allow the execution of malicious code that can take complete control of devices, Google warned on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

All four of the vulnerabilities were disclosed two weeks ago<\/a> in Google\u2019s Android Security Bulletin for May. Google has released security updates to device manufacturers, who are then responsible for distributing the patches to users.<\/p>\n

Google\u2019s May 3 bulletin initially didn\u2019t report that any of the roughly 50 vulnerabilities it covered were under active exploitation. On Wednesday, Google updated the advisory to say that there are \u201cindications\u201d that four of the vulnerabilities \u201cmay be under limited, targeted exploitation.\u201d Maddie Stone, a member of Google\u2019s Project Zero exploit research group, removed the ambiguity. She declared on Twitter<\/a> that the \u201c4 vulns were exploited in-the-wild\u201d as zero-days.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
