It is generally considered the best way to defend against &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Code_reuse#Computer_security\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">code reuse attacks<\/a>&#8221; and it has now also been added to the Android kernel as well.<\/p>\n<p>Android 9.0 (also known as P or Pie), released at the end of August, was the first Android OS version to feature some CFI support.<\/p>\n<p>For that version, CFI support was enabled by default &#8220;within the media frameworks and other security-critical components, such as NFC and Bluetooth,&#8221; Google <a href=\"https:\/\/android-developers.googleblog.com\/2018\/06\/compiler-based-security-mitigations-in.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">said in June<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>In a <a href=\"https:\/\/android-developers.googleblog.com\/2018\/10\/control-flow-integrity-in-android-kernel.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">blog post<\/a> today, Google said the entire Android kernel is now protected by CFI, and specifically, by &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/clang.llvm.org\/docs\/ControlFlowIntegrity.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">forward-edge Control Flow Integrity (CFI)<\/a>,&#8221; as implemented by the LLVM compiler, which Google uses to compile the Android OS kernel.<\/p>\n<section class=\"sharethrough-top\" data-component=\"medusaContentRecommendation\" data-medusa-content-recommendation-options=\"{&quot;promo&quot;:&quot;promo_ZD_recommendation_sharethrough_top_in_article_desktop&quot;,&quot;spot&quot;:&quot;dfp-in-article&quot;}\">\n<\/section>\n<p>&#8220;Google&#8217;s Pixel 3 will be the first Android device to ship with these protections, and we have made the feature available to all device vendors through the Android common kernel,&#8221; said Sami Tolvanen, Staff Software Engineer, Android Security.<\/p>\n<p>The company now hopes that Android OEM vendors will also integrate and activate this security feature inside future handsets or in OS updates they will ship to their users.<\/p>\n<p>Since most OEMs generally tend to leave the kernel alone and only tinker with the operating system&#8217;s interface and later add device-specific drivers to their custom Android OS versions, CFI support is most likely to reach most users as they move to new devices or get an updated OS kernel.<\/p>\n<p>Google says CFI support has been added to Android kernel versions 4.9 and 4.14, kernel versions usually seen with Android Pie handsets. Android phone owners can check their device&#8217;s kernel version in the Android OS settings, in the &#8220;About device&#8221; section.<\/p>\n<h3>RELATED AND PREVIOUS COVERAGE<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/two-weeks-too-big-goodbye-apple-iphone-xs-max\/\"><strong>Two weeks, too big: Goodbye Apple iPhone XS Max<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The Apple iPhone XS Max has been out for a couple of weeks and, as expected, it is the best iPhone ever.
