What's the mobile world got in store for 2008? 
Core Security published an alert on its website stating it had found eight vulnerabilities related to some open source image processing libraries in Google's Android SDK, which the group claims are outdated. Attackers exploiting these vulnerabilities could take complete control of Android handsets, the alert said.
Android, which Google announced in November, is still in beta. Even though several companies showed off prototypes using the Android software at the GSMA Mobile World Congress last month, none of them have built a commercial product yet.
The final version of the software code won't be available until later this year.
