A security researcher has found multiple zero-day security vulnerabilities in Tizen, the Linux based application that's found on multiple Samsung appliances. These Samsung TV security vulnerabilities extend back for about the past two years, and there are some Samsung phone security problems as well. A few weeks ago, Wikileaks documents showed that the CIA can make a Samsung smart TV spy on its owners by installing malware via a USB memory stick. Now, it appears that this same type of malware can be installed via a Tizen Store app vulnerability. Note that this apparently has nothing to do with Linux kernel security, but rather with the app that was built around the Linux kernel.
