Samsung smart phone vulnerability 0-click

ALL Samsung smart phones  All  since 2014    since Android 4.4.4  KitKat  have a flaw in the Skia image library that allows a hacker to take control of the attacked Samsung phones with out a user clicking on an image and in some cases, no user notification.

 The attack is involved, it might take many tries, but if successful the attacker can control any/all of the phone's functions. Most successful attacks take several hours of effort to exploit.

 Samsung has a May 2020 security update to address the vulnerability.
