As it states all devices with Android 4.0 through 4.3 are effected. The update would be Android 4.4 Kitkat.
If I read it right it is stating that a program could be written that changes your lock screen. This could allow someone via a program that you install change it from one where you may have a pin or some other secure input to just swiping or disabling the lock screen all together.
I would not worry to much as long as you install apps only from the play store and actually read what it has access to.

There isn't an update to download it will either be pushed to your device by Google or more than likely included in the next OTA which is rumored to be dropping anytime. The only way to be safe is to not install any apps that do not come from the playstore, i.e. turn off install apps from unknown sources in your system settings.

Google has had the code to repair the exploit since about March so not sure why they are taking so long to get it out. Probably because it's not really all that big an issue as long as you only download apps from a trusted source. They sent the code to fix the exploit to their OEM's about a month ago and they updated their own version of Android are in the process of sending the update out to the various carriers. It will probably still take the OEM's a few more months to update all their phones and some older phones I'm sure will never be updated.
Guess what guys, the Cyangenmod team implemented the security patch to their rom already.

AT&T SGH-I467 OTA Update I467UCAMF2

Hey everyone. I just got an OTA update for my Note 8.0 LTE (AT&T). It's a small update (16.3MB). The new firmware build is I467UCAMF2. This is probably just a bugfix update but OTAs are almost always a good thing.

OK so allow me to translate that into English:
"Because we're A, T and f***ing T, we decided to make Samsung replace Google's normal Android setup app with our own called AT&T Ready2Go. The problem is, again because we're A, T and f***ing T, our app sucks. If you have two-step verification enabled on your Google account, you won't be able to sign into your Google account during setup with AT&T Ready2Go. I guess we underestimated how many people actually have it turned on, so oops! Our bad. Here, it's enabled. Happy now?"
I manually updated a couple of hours ago. After playing around with the Note 8 with the update for about an hour I no longer experience the screen stutter/freeze/pause/etc. issue. I hope this in fact is fixed, but so far so good.

I'm still getting the unresponsive screen issue post-update. I've thought about doing a reset, but haven't actually done it yet.
Would be nice if someone had the OTA zip, as it is possible a root could be made from it if the right images are included.

A little of both. The bootloader is encrypted and locked on the AT&T model, but also, very few of us on XDA actually have one. Let's be real. People around here thumb their noses at tablets with an LTE connection a lot of times. They just have no hipster cred in the Android geek community. The in crowd just buys a WiFi-only tablet and tethers it to their phone. It's the geekier thing to do, even if it's a pain in the @$$. You can talk about why LTE tablets are useful until you're blue in the face but it falls on deaf ears more often than not.
Unfortunately, I'm not very optimistic that we'll ever see root unless there comes a time where the WiFi-only root method works on the AT&T model.

Is it encrypted? I got this tablet 2nd hand and I may never even put service on it. If I can't root it, I'll probably trade it for a wifi version. I know AT&T and Verizon pushed an OTA to the S4's that prevented root. Luckily I was rooted/rom'ed prior to that. My GN8 doesn't have the latest OTA. I'm still hopeful for root and unlock/simunlock so I can grab a pre-paid card for this tab.

Instead of having the the status bar at the top, it's all at the bottom, a visible home, back and multi task buttons are shown as well as the quick launch buttons moving to a menu that appears when you hit the time (which gets moved to the bottom right hand corner of the screen)
In the 4.1.2 firmwares, you enabled it by changing the dpi to something like 160, it makes the interface less "kiddie like".
You can still change the DPI but, ever since 4.2.2 for this device, you've not able to enable Tablet UI, as they've removed it from the framework. I flashed it about 20 minutes after posting my question and discovered that it's still gone, which totally sucks!

Yes I remember my Lenovo ThinkPad tablet worked that way.
For me I'm maybe happier with th phone layout as it is the same as my phone. Did I just write that.
Anyway thanks for the heads up.
I have upgraded to 4.2.2 also but can't really see a difference.
Hoping we get 4.3 and can we hope for 4.4 too?
I don't know why the Note 8 is not considered a Samsung premium product. It is premium for me, can even use it as a phone in a pinch.

Upgrading an encrypted Note8
My Note8 is encrypted because of the BYOD policy in our company. It is my first Samsung appliance and is also my first encrypted appliance I am going to upgrade.
Did someone try this kind of ODIN-pushed upgrade
- on an encrypted Note8?
- or on another encrypted 4.1-based Samsung appliance?
Do you think it will work?
I believe Galaxy Gear support will be added.

[WARNING] HDX Update Released + Amazon open source

This is a notice for 2 things the impending update and the emulator.
I'm unsure if anybody has taken notice but Amazon's Source Code Notice page has an emulator (1314_3.0.1_Emulator_1_32_src.tar.gz) for the Hdx along with each version revision. Hope this is of some use to someone. This takes me to my main point.
The kindle update page does not have the 13/14.3.2.0 update listed yet (for Thor and Apollo). But on their Open Source Notice page it has kindle_src_1314.3.2.0_user_320091620.tar.bz2 listed. It's seems Amazon lets dev's on the update before it is released.
Amazon may have patched the root in the update (just a guess don't quote me). We need to look into this.
Hope this notice thread was useful. Please leave a response.
-UPDATE-
Kindle Fire HDX version 1314.3.2.1 update was just released (13=Thor, 14=Apollo). It now appears this update breaks root permissions.
Here is my current config but please be careful. It seemed to block the update.
I'm running from a safestrap rom slot
My stock rom has wifi disabled and android firewall blocking everything
From stock I renamed otacerts.zip to otacerts.zip.old in /etc/security/ <--- No effect
From stock I also renamed com.amazon.dcp.apk to com.amazon.dcp.apk.old in /system/app/ <--- ......I think this is it + it needs something extra
My rom slot has thor-gapps-rom-2.zip installed on it and android firewall is not running on it
Until we're sure what this update breaks and does, stay watchful and power off at night.
DO NOT LET THIS UPDATE INSTALL IF YOU WANT ROOT ACCESS!
How could we prevent the automatic update?

Renaming otacerts.zip to otacerts.zip.old in /etc/security/ might do it but was never tested. Blocking ip's with iptables or block specific app from gaining a connection. Keeping the HDX off or wifi off. Running from a rom slot may also work for blocking the stock from updating.

You will usually see updates there about 3 to 5 days before they push or are posted to the firmware download page in my experience.
Thank you both Faznx92 and GSLEON3 for the useful tips.
So if this update comes it won't be automatically installed will it? Will I have the option to Deny the update?

If you're lucky enough, you could cancel the update right before your machine finishes the downloading and starts the automatic update by itself. :laugh:

Amazon auto updates. You can't stop it if you want to use wifi for some time. You may see it download but it may just happen. My hdx updated to the current version overnight on standby (back in November). I turn it off at night even though I'm on a safestrap rom slot. I think a lot a people may lose root. I hope the old gapps rom zip I'm using now conflicts with the update software. I also renamed the otacerts file and run Iptables to block some app connections.
I did the Android firewall block so hopefully that'll take care of that. No updates since I did that so can't say it works but I guess we'll find out soon enough.
Is there an app responcible for updating the system?
Yeah, I'm using droidwall. I hope it works too. This site gave some useful info.
here
Airplane mode for the next few days.
My attempts to prevent and update currently include the following:
* Moving of the otacerts as noted on this thread.
* Installed Android Firewall in white list mode and only allowing access to apps as needed so everything I need works.
* From the firewall logs you can see that going into device settings and checking for and update blocks some amazon apps. I have, based on the logs renamed /system/apps/com.amazon.dcp.apk to com.amazon.dcp.apkBak. This has made all subsequent attempts at going into device settings and having it check for an update fail.
I am hopeful all of the above should stop updates. Please note the renaming of a system apk was done in a rom slot after installing safestrap. I would not recommend messing with system apps otherwise. Also there are two other com.amazon.dcp.apk packages. Messing with them will cause some other things to break in settings and will also break the stock launcher(which I use to launch the stock Kindle app which crashes under Apex launcher).
My xposed mod should also prevent ota updates if your rooted.

Unless I'm mistaken & I'm 99% certain I'm not, you have access to all 64Gb of storage. It is a loopback partition with the same shared storage pool, unless you have a gazillion apps, it should be fine. The biggest app files are usually .obb's which reside in /sdcard/android, which again, is in the shared storage. You don't really lose anything, you just only have 4Gb for the secondary (loopback) /system & /data partitions.

Yeah. Triple checked it. I was looking for 5.1.1. , but it is clear that it is 5.0.1. I can't find an update list anywhere else on the web. Actually surprised I was the first to post here.
It seems that I am new so I can't post a link. Change the httx to http and go to the link below for my screenshot.

No it is still 5.0.1 I think this was just a security patch most likely for the Stagefright bug.
I just checked for an update and there IS one available.. though I haven't pushed the button on it yet.

It is the stage fright fix. I was hoping it would come with 5.1.1. Oh well..... Samsung / Verizon taking their time as usual.
It's a security fix for stagefright. It did change the build number and kernel.

have there been any improvements? anything noticeable even though it's just the stagefright fix?
and when do you think that the 5.1.1 update is going to come out? The sprint variant users have said it made them love their phone again...
I believe I read on the official update PDF, that there are TWO parts to the update.
In order to use Video Calling and HD Voice for Advanced Calling on the Note 4, an
additional 46-60 minutes is required for activation that includes OTA software update:
- Part 1: Download – 4 minutes, Upgrade – 8 minutes (12 minutes total)
- Part 2: Download – 18 minutes, Upgrade – 16 minutes (34 minutes total)
You will need up to 1.7GB of reserved memory to upgrade.
You will be prompted to clear space via storage settings if there is insufficient memory available.
Due to changes in the Lollipop OS, a Low Memory pop up will show until you have freed up enough memory space.

Yeah. Triple checked it. I was looking for 5.1.1. , but it is clear that it is 5.0.1. I can't find an update list anywhere else on the web. Actually surprised I was the first to post here.
It seems that I am new so I can't post a link. Change the httx to http and go to the link below for my screenshot.

Could you install and run this app, to test and see if Stagefright is REALLY patched?

On BOF1, I pass, I believe, 2 of them and the rest fail. If you pass all the tests, then this update indeed patched the Stagefright bug.

That looks to be related to the initial Lollipop update for the Note 4 (which WAS a two part update), and not this latest update (which I think only addresses the Stagefright issue).

That could very well be the case. I was half awake when I looked, so I didnt check timestamps.
How long, on average, does it take an official OTA to make it to Kies? Ive been checking for 2 days, and it hasnt been available through Kies (Windows).

It comes up as patched after the security update.

I can confirm that Stage fright is patched.
Awesome! Im not typically worried about this kind of stuff. I have a flawless track record when it comes to security. But Id rather be safe than sorry. Wonder how long it will take hsbadr to make a Safe Upgrade out of BOG5
