Every Android Device Launched Since 2012 Impacted By RAMpage Vulnerability (bleepingcomputer.com)

Almost all Android devices released since 2012 are vulnerable to RAMpage bug, an international team of academics has revealed today. From a report: The vulnerability, tracked as CVE-2018-9442, is a variation of the Rowhammer attack. Rowhammer is a hardware bug in modern memory cards. A few years back researchers discovered that when someone would send repeated write/read requests to the same row of memory cells, the write/read operations would create an electrical field that would alter data stored on nearby memory. In the following years, researchers discovered that Rowhammer-like attacks affected personal computers, virtual machines, and Android devices. Through further researcher, they also found they could execute Rowhammer attacks via JavaScript code, GPU cards, and network packets.

That's how I'd slip it in

Unless it's posted open source and GPL.

If I were going to post some Malware, I'd make a clean open source/GPL version with handy pre-compiled binaries that had the actual exploits included... we all know very few people would actually go to the trouble to download and compile so you'd get quite a good uptake from people who assumed because the source was open it was safe.
