Tory MP calls for UK to save Iranian teen sentenced to death for sodomy

Reader comments
Sorry Mr Stewart – your concern for this teen is a red herring. It may be well intentioned but it is misplaced
The reality is, is that Britain has absolutely no influence on Iran while imposing sanctions on Iran due to their nuclear program.
Your concern for LGBT citizens living in murderously homophobic regimes would be better aimed at countries where Britain actualy has an influence ie the Commonwealth.
I want to see the government tell backward regimes like Uganda, Kenya, Jamaica and Malawi that British aid from this point forward is dependent on those regimes fully decriminalising homoisexuality.
I think Britain should ask China or Brazil to intervene on this teenager's behalf. Those countries can actually influence Iran.
@ Simon Murphy
Ireland has no influence period so stop bitching.
As a gay man and Tory MP Mr Stewart has every right to highlight his concerns to the minister.
I would hope Mr Hague calls the Iranian ambassador in to explain his explain his countries actions. Further more as a permanent member of the UN security council we can highlight this in the UN also.
I'm not sure Ireland could do anything without the Popes permission first!
Helen – what an unpleasant and ill-informed person you seem.
I am not bashing the UK when I make the the statement that the UK has no influence on Iran. Considering the sanctions in place against Iran which are fully supported by Britain, perhaps you can explain to me why Iran would listen to the UK (who they regard as the poodle of the US).
Why you have a problem with Britain asking countries that actually DO have an influence on Iran (China, or Brazil or Venezuela for example) is beyond me.
Why you have a problem with Britain putting pressure on regimes which they can actually have an influence (Jamaica, Uganda etc) is beyond me.
As for your xenophobic and entirely irrelevant and inflammatory comments about Ireland – well they speak volumes about what an ignorant and uneducated person you are.
I have no time for these backward fuc@@rs. I have stopped giving to any charities where these homophobic religious hate pedlars rule.

Final: Rangers 3, Angels 2
The Angels, who wanted to desperately to avoid another slow start this season, lost for the third time in their first four games when they dropped a 3-2 decision against the Texas Rangers on Friday at Rangers Ballpark in Arlington.
Right-hander Garrett Richards gave up a game-tying homer to Adrian Beltre in the seventh and left-hander Scott Downs allowed Ian Kinsler's go-ahead RBI single with two outs in the eighth.
Josh Hamilton's return to Texas did not go well for him. He went hitless in four at-bats, including two strikeouts. He is 1 for 16 with eight strikeouts.
Hamilton also fielded Kinsler's single and made a strong throw to the plate, but it took a bad hop on the dirt in front of the plate and catcher Chris Iannetta couldn't handle it. Even if he did, it may not have been in time to get the speedy Craig Gentry sliding home.
Iannetta scored the Angels' two runs. He led off the third with his second homer of the season and then singled in the fifth and scored on Mike Trout's double off the left-field fence.
Angels left-hander Jason Vargas, making his first appearance with his new team, pitched around trouble for most of his afternoon. He allowed 10 baserunners (eight hits and two walks) in 5 2/3 innings, including letting the leadoff man reach in four of the six innings he started, but he was charged with just one run.
In the fifth, Vargas gave up a leadoff double to Lance Berkman, but then he got Beltre on a flyout and he struck out Nelson Cruz and David Murphy to retire the side, holding the one-run lead.
Vargas ended up with a no-decision because the Rangers tied the game against the Angels' bullpen in the seventh.
Manager Mike Scioscia brought hard-throwing Kevin Jepsen in to get the final out of the sixth, but he then summoned Richards for the seventh. Richards gave up a two-out homer to Beltre, tying the game.

Papa Nacho'sWe're pretty sure if you take any food and stuff it with cheese, dip it in batter and deep-fry the sucker until it's crunchy and golden-brown, it's going to be good. But try the relleno at Papa Nachos—you'll taste art. While you're at it, try the unique green chile sauce (which happens to be excellent on turkey) or any of the burritos wrapped in fresh, tender tortillas. (Alibi Staff, August 11, 2010)

The two-day IPL players' auction gets underway on Wednesday in Bengaluru, where 514 capped and uncapped players will go under the hammer. The IPL Governing Council had made some changes to the rules governing the auction, which may force the eight franchises to re-work their strategies before they prepare their priority lists. Here's a quick guide to the whole process before the hammer comes down: PLAYER CONTRACT * One-year term, with a franchise having the option to extend for either one or two additional years. The option must be exercised on or before 15 December in each year * IPL league fee for all players to be denominated in Indian rupees * Overseas players to be paid in the currency of their choice at the prevailing exchange rate on either the actual date of payment or contract due date, whichever is beneficial to the player * IPL league fee to exclude payment for playing in CLT20 but to include up to 6 approved friendly matches * The additional fee for playing in CLT20 to be an amount equal to 10 percent of the IPL league fee SQUAD COMPOSITION * Each squad must include no less than 16 and no more than 27 players, of which up to 9 may be overseas players * No more than 4 overseas players in the XI for any match * No minimum quota for catchment area players * Under-19 players must have played either First Class or List A before signing for IPL * Salary Cap for the IPL league fees of the entire squad to be Rs. 60 crore for 2014, increasing by 5 percent per annum for 2015 and 2016 * Minimum squad spend of Rs. 36 crore in each of the 2014, 2015 and 2016 seasons. RETAINING PLAYERS IN ADVANCE OF THE 2014 PLAYER AUCTION * In advance of the 2014 Player Auction, a franchise may sign up to a maximum of 5 players (either capped or uncapped, no more than four of whom may be capped Indians) who were in its squad in 2013, including those who were unavailable during the season and those who were taken as temporary replacements * The player contract for the retained player (in standard form and signed by both the player and the franchise) must be lodged with the BCCI on or before Friday 10 January 2014 (See list of retained players) * Embargo on franchises approaching any players who were in another franchise's 2013 squad until Saturday, 11 January 2014 * Irrespective of the IPL league fee that is agreed between the two parties and which is set out in the player contract, the 2014 Salary Cap (and if appropriate the 2015 and 2016 Salary Caps) for the franchise will be charged as follows: For Capped Players * Rs. 12.5 crore for the first capped Player so retained. * Rs. 9.5 crore for the second capped Player so retained. * Rs. 7.5 crore for the third capped Player so retained. * Rs. 5.5 crore for the fourth capped Player so retained * Rs. 4 crore for the fifth capped Player so retained. For Uncapped Players *Rs. 4 crore for each uncapped Player so retained * For the purpose of determining the Salary Cap charge for each player retained, franchises will be deemed to have retained capped players in the order of their actual IPL league fee (from the highest to lowest). If two or more retained capped players have the same IPL league fee, the relevant Salary Cap charges shall be added together and divided by the number of such players, with the Salary Cap being charged by the same amount for each player. For example, if a franchise retains only two capped players with the two having the same contracted IPL league fee, the Salary Cap charge for each shall be Rs. 11 crore (being Rs. 12.5 crore plus Rs. 9.5 crore divided by 2) * A franchise which retains the maximum of 5 players, all of whom are capped, will have a balance of Rs. 21 crore to pay the remaining up to 22 players in its squad for the 2014 season * Retained players may not be traded. AUCTION * Auction to be held on Wednesday 12 and, if necessary, Thursday 13 February 2014 * All players (capped or uncapped, Indian or overseas, those who did or did not play in IPL in 2013) must enter the 2014 player auction process if they want to play in the IPL in 2014. The only exceptions are those who are retained in advance as described above * Only players who enter the player auction process (but are not taken by a franchise during the player auction) are eligible to be taken as a replacement during the 2014 season * The format of the 2014 Player Auction will be broadly similar to that of the 2013 Player Auction with the addition that each franchise will have a number of 'rights to match' which it may exercise during the course of the auction for any players who were in its squad in 2013 * The number of 'rights to match' available to a franchise will depend on the number of players that the franchise retained in advance: - If three or more players are retained, then only one 'right to match' during the auction. - If one or two players are retained, then two 'rights to match' during the auction. - If no players are retained, then three 'rights to match' during the auction. The 'right to match' is to be exercised as follows: * once the bidding for any player who was in a franchise's 2013 squad is complete and the auctioneer is satisfied that no more bids will be forthcoming, the auctioneer will bring down the hammer, declare the player 'sold' and then ask the relevant franchise if it wishes to exercise one of its remaining 'rights to match' * if the franchise chooses to exercise the 'right to match', the franchise will take the player for the amount of the final bid that had been made in the Player Auction * no further bidding by any other franchises is possible * franchises may take no more than 4 capped Indian players via a combination of retention prior to the auction and the 'right to match'.

Poster Of The Week: St. Vincent At The Granada Theater
Gorilla Vs. Bear contributor David Bartholow created this poster using an image from Land of Nicholas Copernicus by Michal Rusinek and featuring photos by Magdalena Rusinek-Kwilecka.
"I typically gather a few images that I believe are appropriate for the particular show, apply the type treatments, and subsequently present them to site founder and editor-in-chief, Chris Cantalini, who then selects a final from that batch," he explains in an e-mail. "Rather simply, we liked the image and thought it was fitting."
It's a very beautiful photograph indeed, and the type is blended into it tastefully in a way that doesn't distract from the eerie emptiness of the street. You have to look pretty closely to discern that it isn't actually a photo of a building called The Granada Theater with the date written on it.
The poster advertises tonight's Granada Theater show featuring Philadelphia's Pattern Is Movement and a singer-songwriter about whom we haven't written nearly enough lately.

Technical analysts may not trade on news directly, but they do not ignore it. For example, the lack of a negative reaction to bad news such as an earning miss or negative external events usually leads to further trading opportunities for the bulls.
Conversely, mediocre or bad performance on the back of good news implies the opposite. That is what I see in the retail-stock sector today. Economists and politicians are now touting the resurgence of the American consumer and sales are indeed better. Yet stock prices are quite soft. Investors should take note.
There are many indexes and exchange-traded funds that track the retail sector, each slightly different in composition and weighting. Two examined here how the differences, but just about all those I follow yield the same conclusion—the lows set earlier this month mark critical supports for the sector.
The Standard & Poor's retail sector index has the longest history of the most popular measures. Its long-term chart shows that it is now sitting on a support level that goes back to 2007 (see Chart 1). This price zone, coincidently around the round number of 500, also served as the peak in April of last year and the minor low in December.
Chart 1
Standard & Poor's Retail Index
This is important because a move below 500 that lasts more than just a day or two would be considered a technical breakdown. The index already is lagging the broader market since November, when the resurgence of the consumer started to be trumpeted. It has lost its upward momentum and superstars in the sector, as Family Dollar Store (ticker: FDO), AutoZone AZO 0.26175387621170754% AutoZone Inc.

The early January low at 104.30 must hold or the bears take over (see Chart 2).
Chart 2
Relail HOLDRs ETF
As the new year opened, this ETF almost exactly tagged its April 2010 high before forming a bearish pattern called a key weekly reversal bar. By reaching a new high for the late 2010 rally and then closing below the low of the previous week it told us that the bulls were soundly rejected.
Making the case even stronger is that the same action occurred in May 2007 at about the same price. After a second attempt to rally, the bears took over the same could happen this year if 104.30 fails to hold.
One stock with a good technical setup for the bears is department store J.C. Penney JCP 1.9007391763463568% J.C. Penney Co. Inc.

Chart 3
J.C. Penney
Tuesday, following several days of flat trading right at the range bottom, it made a preliminary move to break that range to the downside. And using a simple forecasting technique of projecting the trading range height down from the break point, the target could be as low as 25.60. That's a 15% haircut from the bottom of the range.
Another factor that has the sector in retreat is the number of earnings bombs that have been dropped on it.

Bombs, as I call them, are extraordinary events that damage the technical conditions of the stocks involved. I say this to contrast the action with an emotion-driven weak open that is reversed early in the trading day. Termed "trap doors" by Kevin Haggerty of Tradingmarkets.com, these can represent bullish setups. Apple AAPL -0.6859461680706801% Apple Inc.

Retailers do not fit this bill.
With poor action on good news, bombs dropping on bad news and loss of the leadership of some of its superstars, the retail sector's technical action is telling us that consumers have not opened their wallets as wide as people think. And that bodes poorly for their stocks.

- Applicants must have earned a minimum 3.0 average GPA (on a 4.0 scale) in all prior undergraduate and graduate course work.
- Applicants must provide an official copy of a transcript for all their post-secondary work.
Admission to the Master of Human-Computer Interaction (HCIM) is competitive. Students will be evaluated for admission to the program based on three criteria: Grade Point Average (GPA), Graduate Record Exam (GRE) and admissions essays. GRE should be in the the 40th percentile or higher for Verbal scores and in the 60th percentile or higher for Qualitative scores. Students may apply to the program even if they have no prior programming experience. In such cases, the student will be required to take a programming course, as many HCIM classes require proficiency in programming.
Application Process
The University of Maryland's Graduate School accepts applications through its ApplyYourself / Hobsons application system.
The electronic submission of application materials helps expedite the review of an application. Completed applications are reviewed by an admissions committee in each graduate degree program. The recommendations of the admissions committee are submitted to the Dean of the Graduate School, who will make the final admission decision. Students seeking to complete graduate work at the University of Maryland for degree purposes must be formally admitted to the Graduate School by the Dean.
Application Requirements
Graduate School application, including:
- Statement of Purpose.
- Graduate Record Examination (GRE). GRE Institution Code: 5814.
- Transcripts. Uploading unofficial transcripts is sufficient for the purposes of the application review process. However, if you are offered admission and choose to enroll in the University of Maryland, you will need to provide an official and unopened transcript (see below).
- Three letters of recommendation. Letters of recommendation should come from current/former faculty members, employers, colleagues, and in rare cases personal references. Letters should not come from family members or those unable to speak to your ability to complete a graduate degree.
- CV/Resume. A current resume or CV should be uploaded in the "Upload Requirements" section of the application.
- TOEFL/IELTS/PTE. For international students only. TOEFL score of 100 or higher.
Program-Specific Requirements:
- Application Essay - Required, to be uploaded as "Supplementary Application"
In 1,000 words, please analyze an interface you use regularly, considering its affordances, limitations, challenges, and benefits. You may choose to evaluate a physical interface (i.e., a technological device) or a virtual one (i.e., an application, a website, etc.). Your response should include at least one visual representation (for instance, screenshots or sketches) and a written explanation of the reasoning behind your selection.
- Portfolio - Optional, to be uploaded as "Supplementary Application Two"
If you wish to include a portfolio with your application, please upload a brief (no more than 250-word) statement describing the work you have done and a link to your online portfolio. Alternatively, you may upload a PDF portfolio, if desired.
Application Deadlines
The deadline for admission for Fall 2017 is:
- Domestic/International: January 13
Application Checklist
The College of Information Studies will evaluate your application only when it is complete (see checklist below). We suggest that you submit your application well in advance of the application deadline. Be sure to:
- Complete The Graduate School application along with the $75 application fee.
- Complete program-specific requirements.
- Confirm relevant test scores have been submitted.
- Confirm recommendations have been submitted.
Applicants are responsible for the timely completion of their applications. Only complete applications will be submitted to the admissions committee for review. Please contact the Student Services Office with concerns about missing documents. The Student Services Office maintains applications until they are evaluated for admission or the application deadline for the requested semester has passed.
Information for International Graduate Applicants
The University of Maryland is dedicated to maintaining a vibrant international graduate student community. The office of International Students and Scholars Services (ISSS) is a valuable resource of information and assistance for prospective and current international students. International applicants are encouraged to explore the services they offer and contact them with related questions.
The University of Maryland Graduate School offers admission to international students based on academic information; it is not a guarantee of attendance. Admitted international students will then receive instructions about obtaining the appropriate visa to study at the University of Maryland which will require submission of additional documentation. Please see Graduate Admissions Process for International Applicants for more information.
After Admission
Admitted students who choose to enroll in the University of Maryland should be sure to:
- Accept offer of admission according to Graduate School instructions (provided in Graduate School admission letter).
- Have an official and unopened transcript sent to:
University of Maryland College Park
Enrollment Services Operations
Attn: Graduate Admissions
Room 0130 Mitchell Building
College Park, MD 20742
- Complete Maryland In-State Tuition form, if applicable.
- Provide immunization records (must be received prior to enrollment).
If a student is granted admission, and then wishes instead to begin the program the following academic year, the applicant must notify the Student Services Office in writing PRIOR to the beginning of the original entry semester. Otherwise, the application will be withdrawn. An applicant wishing to be considered after the application has been withdrawn must again pay the required Graduate School application fee and reapply to both the Graduate School and the College of Information Studies. The new application will be considered on the basis of admission standards existing at the time of reapplication.
Contact Information
For more information, please contact the Student Services Office of the College of Information Studies at email@example.com.

Holden talks Lt. Gov run to students
BATON ROUGE - Mayor Kip Holden brought up his interest in the lieutenant governor's office again Friday while reading to fourth-grade students in Baton Rouge.
Holden was asked by students at The Dunham School about his career plans, and said once he was finished with his term as mayor he'd like to try for lieutenant governor.
Holden has mentioned his interest in the office in the past to media, saying in 2013 he was "80 percent sure" he'd run for the office in 2015. He has not yet made a formal announcement.
WBRZ News 2 anchor Sylvia Weatherspoon also read to students at The Dunham School with Holden Friday.

The Federal Communications Commission announced April 30 that it will spend $25 million to launch a competition among eligible telecommunications providers to find ways to increase broadband adoption rates among low-income people.
The competition will be funded by savings from reform the FCC Lifeline program, the agency said. The funds will be used to launch pilot projects across the country to test best practices around issues of cost, digital literacy and relevancy, all of which are to be aimed at increasing broadband adoption.
According to an FCC public notice, telecommunications companies will be required to submit a detailed description of the experiment design and other experimental protocols used that are suitable for a replication study.
The FCC said it encourages eligible telecommunications companies to partner with existing broadband adoption programs as well as schools, libraries, state and local governments, and non-profits.

61 of 70 people found the following review helpful
Some kind of wonderful,
This review is from: Head First (Audio CD)
When I first heard the single "Rocket" I was horrified. It was played one afternoon while I was at work. "Rocket" came on the radio and I immediately accused a colleague of changing the channel from 6Music to Radio2. As I listened further I began to recognise the voice but didn't want to believe that it was actually Goldfrapp. My mind filled with images of Van Halen's "Jump", Starship and other equally big-haired US west-coast MOR acts who blighted my formative years.
Investigating further I discovered that the whole album was a trip back to many different sounds from the 80s and suddenly "Rocket" was in context and my previous shortsightedness melted away. Even though it happens to me every time they release a new album I had fallen into the same old trap which seems to define my relationship with the music of Goldfrapp. I realise this is part of their appeal and I do know they change their sound every album but I seemingly just need to be wrong-footed every time in order to appreciate it.
Any personal prejudice I may have about (some of) that 80's sound is totally irrelevant because Goldfrapp make it their own. I can almost understand why some may initially dismiss this album as lightweight or lazy but remember this is Goldfrapp and they just don't do lazy. I think the confusion arises because they manage to make it all sound so effortless which, somewhat ironically, actually takes a lot of hard work and talent to achieve.
Listen again and listen with an open mind. The tracks on "Head First" may be fizzy 80's pop on the surface but they are also typically warm and lush and slightly unusual in that singular and distinctive way that Goldfrapp do so well. Apart from the obvious musical similarities like Abba and Olivia Newton-John I also hear Depeche Mode, Laurie Anderson, OMD, Japan and other acts that I loved.....
....and there you have it.....
Another wildly eclectic album from Goldfrapp which stretches my mind-music-muscle into new exciting shapes and takes me places I never thought I wanted to go, whereupon I find it's actually somewhere pretty wonderful.

What a spot on review. I thought the very same 'Van Halen' thing when I first heard Rocket. Will definitely purchase the album today.

Mr. D. Parkinson says:
Agreed, excellent review! I too was in denial at first upon hearing 'Rocket' - "This isn't Goldfrapp! They've turned the wrong corner!" But actually.... several listens later and I am hooked on this album. Glorious fun.

Robsteriark says:
I was just about to add my own review, but your astute comments exactly mirror what I would have said. Rather than plagiarise, the only honest thing for me to do is to simply write "read review by G.Thomas".
"Felt Mountain" remains my favourite Goldfrapp album and I instantly loved it, but like all Goldfrapp's other albums this one grows on me with each repeated listening.

Mr. J. J. Barker says:
It's a pity you put down Van Halen in such an insubstantial way. Van Halen were by far one of the more innovative rock bands of the late 1970s, with Eddie Van Halen introducing his unique guitar playing (copied by millions of others since). Early Van Halen albums such as Fair Warning, Diver Down and 1984 were a truly eclectic mix - much like Goldrapp's back catalogue. As a fan of both artists, I am disappointed by your weak put down of Van Halen when you clearly don't know what you're talking about. I do agree, however, with the rest of your review (except the comments about "Rocket") and I don't really know much about Starship beyond their ultra-commercial singles.

The ever-growing web as well as the `consumerization of IT` provide end users with an abundance of options and full discretion. We now understand the vital need to internalize the concept of spreading knowledge and information across a variety of applications and platforms as a means to thrive. Fortunately, we now have the opportunity to utilize multiple clouds.
There are various incentives when considering multi-cloud deployment, including regulations, high-availability, and global presence, to name a few. However, when looking at the main factors, two key words come to mind: Evolution and Freedom.
IT has made incredible advancements over the past decade, and from the looks of it, there are no signs of slowing down. The infinite public IaaS resources have translated into an endless supply of new applications. While the environment is made up of many intricacies, countless accommodating innovations are progressively being adopted on a regular basis. That is the beauty of our dynamic IT environment, there is always something new on the table.
The consumerist habit of buying an application for a dollar, then tossing it out after a day without blinking an eye, has made its way to the business world. Now, enterprises and end users, alike, are expecting to enjoy the bottom-up adoption of cloud computing to materialize on their work desks. With risk-free trials lowering cloud lock-in opportunities, the world of IT is becoming more and more heterogeneous. For critics of change, this concept may seem hard to swallow, nonetheless, it is out of our hands and acceptance is the healthiest choice.
The researcher and cloud pundit Dave McCrory, who coined the term "Data Gravity", intended to help IT consumers assess the potential for vendor lock-in, insisting that data stay as "free" as possible. In the olden days, database storage options were limited to on-premise or collocation centers, decreasing the range of flexibility if budget or data distinctions played a significant role. The evolution of IT has granted users the choice and opportunity to store and scale their relational databases using platforms such as Amazon RDS, Google Cloud RDS and innovative startups like ScaleBase. Now, users have the freedom and responsibility to store and read data using different platforms and switch according to the needs of their application.
Developers and DevOps today recognize their responsibility and importance of building a platform that is separate from the underlying infrastructure. Application containers, such as Docker and Cloudbees, enable that independence. This delineation is crucial when discussing cloud adoption and is discussed in depth in RavelloSystems' post approach to the issue.
There will always be gaps when coordinating between cloud capabilities. In fact, in terms of network speed, Google has demonstrated that its platform can complement AWS cloud (based on an actual integration case study). The benefits of utilizing multiple platforms heavily outweigh the impediments. As mentioned above, the continuous cultivation and upgrade of cloud solutions presents end users with the best quality and cutting edge offerings. The option to take advantage of every vendor's prime offer places end users in an ideal situation. Therefore, if one vendor has a more attractive offer than what you currently use, it is your sure that you are able to switch easily.
Challenges (?)
Complexity is definitely a challenge. Generally speaking, utilizing multiple clouds is perceived to create a much more complex environment than a single platform. However, the level of complexity is not contingent upon the number of platforms or clouds in a system. If cloud management is in place, including policies, automation and transparency, moving to a multi-cloud platform configuration should generate lower marginal costs. While it may seem easier said than done, I conducted research of my own, learning that Emind, have managed to move applications between clouds in a matter of weeks. On the topic of complexity, transparency plays a significant role. With endless processes, policies, failures and successes, transparency draws conclusions, which lead to increased understanding, education and improvement, making it one of the most important elements in cloud management.
Don't be fooled, the cloud vendors as well as the blogger who typed these words want to justifiably lock you in. Nonetheless, it is extremely important to evaluate all of the risks involved and maintain low optional transition costs. Do not fear change. It is fun and advantageous to have more options and utilize multiple solutions. There will never be a one-stop-shop for the cloud. Internalizing that with the cloud, IT is an extreme heterogeneous environment promotes greater flexibility and innovation.

Researchers have uncovered a remote code execution Android vulnerability that could be exploited with only a malicious media file and a phone number. The bug in Android's Stagefright multimedia playback engine leaves 95 percent of Android devices worldwide critically exposed. It is being called "Heartbleed for mobile," but will be prove harder than Heartbleed to fully fix.
The vulnerability was discovered by Joshua J. Drake, vice-president of platform research and exploitation at Zimperium zLabs, who will be presenting his findings at Black Hat Las Vegas next week. Drake actually discovered a variety of implementation issues in Stagefright that could be used to commit of variety of attacks, including denials of service and remote code execution.
The worst of the exploits requires no user interaction: the maliciously crafted media file could be delivered via an MMS message, and the user wouldn't even need to open it. In other words, the only thing attackers need to know about their target is their phone number. According to researchers, an exploit could even be written so that the message could be deleted before the user has a chance to see it.
"This is Heartbleed for mobile -- a remotely exploitable vulnerability that affects millions of Android-based phones and tablets," says Chris Wysopal, CTO and CISO of Veracode. "These are exceedingly rare and pose a serious security issue for users since they can be impacted without having clicked on a link, opened a file or opened an SMS. All an attacker needs to do is send an MMS to a user's device phone number and sit back and wait for the malware to take over."
The prevalence and ease of exploit of this vulnerability is why Wysopal compares it to Heartbleed. "It's the first Android vulnerability that's gotten to that level," he says.
The vulnerability affects Android devices versions 2.2 and later; pre-Jellybean devices are at the worst risk. Zimperium reported it to Google, which has applied patches, but full fixes require all affected devices to have an over-the-air firmware update. And that's perhaps the biggest concern: remediation requires a lot of parties to be involved, will take time, and some may never get around to it.
"The update process is very long and complicated, and most Android users will never receive an OS update," says Zuk Avraham, founder, chairman and CTO of Zimperium. "This is more challenging than Heartbleed, because in that case you can simply patch the server."
Wysopal says attackers will be creating and distributing exploits soon. "It's probably a matter of days, so time is of the essence to get the devices patched," he says. But "in the past, it [patching] has been a fragmented process."
Google may release a patch, Wysopal says, but the rest of the Android ecosystem -- the handset manufacturers and wireless carriers, for example -- may take weeks or longer. "We need to start asking them for a timeline," he says. "Unfortunately it's a situation where the individual user may need to take the lead."
The good news is that these Stagefright vulnerabilities do not grant attackers to the victim's entire Android device -- only to their media files -- and wouldn't allow the attacker to make the jump onto an enterprise network, he says.
The question then is will this remain--like other mobile threats before it--a consumer or individual issue. Spying on one's media files could be a threat to an individual, but will it be the kind of thing that brings mobile malware a bigger concern to the enterprise?
Wysopal says the Stagefright exploit could be nastier if combined with a privilege escalation exploit.
"There are targeted attacks on smartphones, as the Hacking Team leak has proved," says Avraham. "We are seeing a lot of attacks. This is the most silent threat to the enterprise out there, empowering attackers to essentially spy on anyone from executives to prime ministers and celebrities."
Wysopal's advice is to turn off the auto-download of MMS messages feature, and then avoid opening MMS messages from unfamiliar senders.Sara Peters is Senior Editor at Dark Reading and formerly the editor-in-chief of Enterprise Efficiency.

The cybersecurity profession struggles to retain women (figures range from 10 to 20 percent). It's particularly worrisome for an industry with a rapidly growing number of vacant positions.
So why does the shortage of women continue to be worse in security than in other IT sectors? How can men in infosec be better allies for women; and how can women be better allies for one another? What is the industry doing to fix the problem -- what's working, and what isn't?
Is this really a problem at all? Are the low numbers simply an indication that women do not want to be in cybersecurity, and is it possible that more women will never want to be in cybersecurity? How many women would we need to see in the industry to declare success?
Join Dark Reading senior editor Sara Peters and guests Angela Knox of Cloudmark, Barrett Sellers of Arbor Networks, Regina Wallace-Jones of Facebook, Steve Christey Coley of MITRE, and Chris Roosenraad of M3AAWG on Wednesday, July 13 at 1 p.m. Eastern Time to discuss all this and more.
