What to do now

  1. Check your Android devices’ current security patch level and whether they received the Android security bulletin dated 2017-09-01 (or later).
  2. If you run Android versions in the affected list (4.4.4, 5.0.2, 5.1.1, 6.0, 6.0.1, 7.0, 7.1.1, 7.1.2, 8.0), upgrade to a version that includes the fix from the 2017-09-01 bulletin.
  3. Reduce exposure immediately: keep Bluetooth turned off when not needed, and avoid using Bluetooth while in public/near unknown devices.
  4. Confirm operational coverage: ensure any company-managed Android phones (MDM/Mobile Device Management) receive security updates and are on policies that enforce them.
