Doha: Qatar's National Cybersecurity Agency has issued a warning to Android users after Google announced the discovery of a critical security vulnerability affecting devices running Android-based operating systems.
According to Google, the flaw is particularly dangerous because it requires no user interaction -- a so-called 'Zero Click' vulnerability.

Affected versions: Version 13, 14, 15, and 16
