Motorola has announced which devices it’ll be issuing software updates for a number of its devices to combat the potential “Stagefright” exploit, which theoretically could allow a malicious MMS video message an avenue of attack into a user’s phone.
Motorola was quick to point out that it’s not aware of the “Stagefright” flaw — so named for the libStageFright library that helps process multimedia files on Android phones — having actually been used in the wild.
The list of devices Motorola plans to patch is predicable, and comprehensive. The new Moto X Style (Pure Edition), Moto X Play will be patched at launch. The new Moto G, which is already shipping, will see some devices get an update for the fix, but going forward they should ship with the updated software.
