Around 900 million Android devices are vulnerable to cyber attacks that exploit four
vulnerabilities in software drivers for Qualcomm chips, according to security researchers.

Check Point said the vulnerabilities affect all Android devices built on the Qualcomm
chipset. Qualcomm supplies 80% of the chipsets in the Android ecosystem.

Affected devices include:

    Samsung Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge
    Sony Xperia Z Ultra
    Google Nexus 5X, 6 and 6P
    HTC One M9 and HTC 10
    LG G4, G5 and V10
    Motorola Moto X
    OnePlus One, 2 and 3
    BlackBerry Priv
    Blackphone 1 and 2

Check Point has released a free QuadRooter scanner app, available from Google Play,

 that enables Android users to find out if their device is vulnerable,
and prompts them to download patches for the problem.
