Less than one week from the launch date of the G1, a security researcher has found a flaw in the Android software. Charles A. Miller, a senior security analyst at Independent Security Evaluators out of Baltimore, blew the whistle on Google hoping to head off potential, malicious attacks on G1 owners. According to Mr. Miller, the flaw could be manipulated by an attacker that could deceive a G1 user to a web site with malevolent code that could load onto the hand held and perform different tasks including the installation of software that could capture keystrokes. Google has owned up to the flaw and has fixed the open source version of the OS and is working with HTC and T-Mobile to get the patch to T-Mobile customers. Due to Androids architecture, the G1 is compartmentalized and would limit access of any intruder to a single application. Thank goodness for over the airwaves software patches, now we just have to wait for the fix and let T-Mobile push the patch to the phone.
