Samsung: a security breach! Examine!!

Newly discovered security exploits affecting Samsung devices, can create a Factory Reset via a Web page through security exploits affecting existing device.
 how can you fix that Samsung is not offered through the official solution. Gap exists Touch Wiz-based instruments, including instruments are also Galaxy S2 and Galaxy S3 (his older version, Samsung claims they updated the device and prevent the hole). Loophole discovered by looking for holes in the name of Rabbi Borgnkr, (Ravi Borgaonkar) Information Security Conference. Hole using a loophole to run one line of code that operates the device reset procedure without warning the user, or can not stop the process. Moreover, the hole can cause - function of the SIM card with following a loophole that works through the URL and uses through the hole, it can be made available through the NFC or bar codes.
Based testing of Android Central Verizon device S3, protected from the hole. Moreover, the devices - AT & T, and all the appliances new S3 are also protected. Others reported that the devices Galaxy Ace and Galaxy Beam also affected. Now, the hole does not affect Samsung devices with stock ROM Google, for example, Galaxy Nexus.
In addition, through the gap can be run through the dialer numbers of the device and thus call premium numbers can pay their way. But the very fact that surfing the Web page allows to delete the device, or Lhshachit the SIM card is bad enough.
Samsung responded that the devices S3, mostly protected. In other words, Samsung's response did not satisfy us. Either way, people need to be controlled and worry about where they are, that has not changed any PC, there is a tendency for people to feel safe when they are in excess of cellular devices, but this is not so, most times less secure mobile devices from your home computer.

How to check if I'm in danger?

Simply, enter this page via your mobile device, http://hugelaser.com/ac/ussd-test.php?conf=true. On entering through the device, if you open the dialer with the number of your IMEI, you as probably in danger. Otherwise, you are safe. In other words, if dialer not open or displays you the number * # 06 # you are protected.

Again! I repeat, this is not intended for Roman AOSP or for NEXUS viscometers! That will jump you something is wrong.
