  Update:
Seems like AT&T Galaxy S6 active Stagefright fix is rolling out as well, build G890AUCU2AOF4. Be sure to check for the OTA update manually from device settings. 

AT&T is pushing out a OTA update with “Device security improvements” to a number of Samsung Galaxy devices, we guess it’s related to the Stagefright vulnerability that being patched with these OTA updates. Earlier today Sprint rolled patch for the vulnerability for a number of Samsung devices as well.

However, the OTA updates AT&T is pushing out are pretty huge, about 200-300MB in size. So they might be packing some other security improvements as well, along with a patch for Stagefright. Or maybe, Stagefright needs such big change in the software.

For the unknown, Stagefright vulnerability allows an attacker to send media files through MMS to any Android device and target Android’s media playback engine, Stagefright, to steal important data, as well as hijacking the device’s microphone and camera. The vulnerability doesn’t even need you to open the MMS file, an attacker can compromise your device without you even knowing about it. This is really a serious security bug that all Android users should be worried about.

Below is the list of devices that received Stagefright fix from AT&T:

  • AT&T Galaxy S5 – build G900AUCU4BOF3
  • AT&T Galaxy S5 active – build G870AUCU2BOF3
  • AT&T Galaxy Note 4 – build N915AUCU2BOC8
