Samsung has promised to rollout monthly security patches for its Android-powered Galaxy devices in an effort to eliminate flaws and vulnerabilities faster than ever before.

Its announcement comes after researchers discovered a new “Stagefright” exploit that allows hackers to take over billions of smartphones with a single text message.

Lollipop’s memory leak has been plaguing Nexus users since Android 5.0 was released late last year, and despite several updates since then, Google has failed to fix it. Fortunately, third-party developers have stepped in with a patch.

The tweak is intended for devices running AOSP ROMs based on Android 5.0 and up, and it’s available on rooted devices running the Xposed framework.
