Temporary fixes released for Samsung Android lock-screen glitch

Two security vendors have released temporary fixes for a flaw in some Samsung Android phones that could allow an attacker to bypass a locked screen. The problem comes from Samsung's implementation of the emergency call feature, which allows people to dial emergency services or reveals a contact people can dial if they find someone's phone, said David Richardson, a product manager at Lookout Mobile Security.
