Lately have been several news which describe the security problems that the Android operating system has faced. Has been recurrent, and Google recognizes the problems concerned and to stated that some of these security flaws are not corrected in versions 4.x Android.

Now comes a new security hole in the operating system world’s most popular mobile. Apparently, failure is associated with the Play Store and allows attackers to force the installation of an application without your permission.

It is a problem that transcends all versions but with greater impact on versions Jelly Bean and earlier.

The problem exists because of an incomplete implementation of DOX-Frame-Options (XFO) which is responsible for protection of malicious software. The discovery of the problem emerged last year, however so far there is no official fix from Google.

The company that owns the Android software advises, in order to protect these attacks, users to use versions latest browsers that have this problem solved. Especially advise using Chrome, Firefox and Dolphin.
