Bitdefender has reported the availability Wipe Stopper, free tool that alerts the user of an Android smartphone of any attempt to execute arbitrary 12call commands 12call on your system remotely by using this vulnerability 12call known as USSD.
This vulnerability is in the dialer system (the software that allows us to make calls and the interface which is distinguishable mark button) and can be exploited in a very simple way, without requiring advanced know- for example creating a Web page that contains a link to a USSD code or sending this via a text message that you want to affect.
The service USSD (Unstructured Supplementary Service Data) is composed of a series of codes that allow the exchange of data and instructions between a mobile phone and computer systems operator 12call or a third party, in real time. In the latter differs from, for example, if a service SMS message can not be delivered on time, not stored to retrieve 12call it later, but it is lost.
USSD codes offer the possibility of carrying out actions as destructive as the complete deletion of the terminal to which they go through the restoration to factory condition, which leads to the irreversible loss of contacts, messages, call log , photos and any information contained terminal so far.
It is difficult to estimate the number of terminals affected by such failure, but several companies dedicated 12call to computer security show that there are several Android builds between versions 2.3 and 4.0 which are affected by what may be a majority of users.
Updated: ESET (NOD32 antivirus known for her) has also launched its free tool for preventing this problem, 12call USSD control, which can be downloaded for free from Google Play.
