Samsung Security Flaw - Galaxy Note II


Android 4.1.2 - the new firmware for the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 contains an interesting security flaw.

From the lock screen, hit the emergency dialer, hit the ICE button, hold down the home key, release.
You can then see the user's home screen. If you are quick, you will be able to launch apps and call any direct dial numbers.

This lockscreen bug is present on the N7100 running 4.1.2, stock launcher.

There is *no* way to defend against this attack. Works on pattern lock, pin, password, and face unlock.
