Norton Halt Exploit Defender v2.0.0.16
Requirements: Android 2.1+
Overview: Norton™ Halt is a first responder app that protects your device from the latest, breaking security exploits, including the Exynos 4 processor chip security flaw and USSD code attacks
Norton™ Halt is a first responder app that protects your device from the latest, breaking security exploits, including the Exynos 4 processor chip security flaw and USSD code attacks. These vulnerabilities allow attackers to bypass system permissions, gain access to RAM, inject malicious code, install unauthorized apps, and steal your personal data.
The Exynos 4 processor chip, used by several popular Android devices has a serious security flaw. The exploit allows malicious apps to gain root access to the system without asking for permissions.
The USSD codes exploit has the potential to initiate a complete wipe of data on your phone and SIM card. Smartphones and tablets running anything below Android 4.1.x (Jelly Bean) are vulnerable. It is highly recommended that you address this flaw immediately, as your mobile carrier may not have provided an over-the-air software update.
FEATURES
Scan for potential Android OS security risks and exploits
Identify Exynos 4 and USSD code attacks
Block unauthorized USSD code requests
Stop the dialer from executing USSD codes without your permission
Prevent loss of personal data and financial information
Advanced USSD filtering, including string detection and special characters. (Many competing USSD apps can't do both.)
WHAT IS THE EXYNOS 4?
Exynos 4 refers to the name of a series of ARM-based System-on-Chips (SoCs) developed and manufactured by Samsung Electronics. This processor allows for relatively easy rooting of Android devices, which rogue apps can use to gain access to sensitive data.
WHAT ARE USSD CODES?
USSD stands for Unstructured Supplementary Service Data and is a session based GSM protocol unlike SMS or MMS. Typically, it is used to send messages between a mobile phone and an application server in the network. There are multiple services based on USSD such as: mobile banking, social networking (Facebook, Twitter), over-the-air mobile software updates, and prepaid/recharge accounts.
The USSD exploit was announced by security researcher Ravi Borgaonkar during September 2012. He successfully demonstrated how an Android device could be wiped out simply by opening a website containing malicious HTML code which initiated a factory reset. Although Borgaonkar disclosed the vulnerabilities to manufacturers and carriers in June 2012, many users to date still have not received a patch for the firmware. As a solution, many users have opted to install an app that will check for and block unauthorized USSD requests such as "tel:" URI (uniform resource identifier) attacks.
