Here is the link to the article on Android Central. I suggest you read it if you have a Samsung device especially if it is one of the devices listed in the article such as my Sprint Galaxy SII or Epic 4G Touch. There are a number of devices affected by this exploit but if you are careful with what you download you don't have anything to worry about. I am rooted and unlocked but running a stock ROM and stock recovery right now on my Epic 4G Touch. I'm using the FK23 Jellybean 4.1 build that is rumored to be the OTA on this device. I don't download pirated apps or anything else so I'm not worried about it. I use Lookout anti - virus protection on all my Android devices which also helps. If you are a power user and root your devices plus flash custom ROM's and Recoveries there is always a risk of getting malware. Unlocking the bootloader makes it much easier for apps to gain access to system dumps, ect. and infect your device or send information from your device elsewhere. Read up on the subject, including this article. Knowledge is power.
