Google this week announced the contents of the May 2017 Android security patches, revealing that six Critical Remote Code Execution (RCE) flaws were addressed in the Mediaserver component.
Over the past couple of years, Mediaserver emerged as one of the most vulnerable Android components, after a Critical RCE bug dubbed Stagefright was said to affect 950 million devices. Detailed in July 2015, the vulnerability encouraged Google to issue monthly security updates for Android.
