What happened
Bitdefender Labs reports an Android flaw, referred to as GhostMap, where installing a specially crafted app with no executable code induces a persistent crash loop. Exploitation requires no launch and no granted permissions. The article provides no CVE identifier, affected Android versions or vendor fix status, so defenders should check for vendor advisories and monitor for unexpected crash loops after app installs.
