Google is warning owners of some popular Android devices to keep a close eye on their gear following the release of an exploit for an unpatched flaw.

A post from the Chocolate Factory's in-house Project Zero crew outlines the flaw, a use-after-free bug in the Android Binder driver that could be exploited by a local app to elevate privileges.
