Each and every time I use social media apps, I am quite terrified that it might be using my data for the malicious activities-thanks to WhatsApp bug that we keep on witnessing every day.

WhatsApp has even acknowledged this flaw and posted a security advisory about this bug named as CVE-2019-11931. This app only affects the earlier versions of the app on both Android and iOS devices. In the advisory, the issue is described as “stack-based buffer overflow” that is competent enough to trigger unsafe code by forwarding a particularly crafted MP4 file to WhatsApp users.

The company has not revealed how the video will look like so that we might not open it and it has also not revealed that whether the person needs to open the MP4 file to get hacked or the overall process is automatically executed.
