[Cialug] Android security

[Josh More]

I do not believe that it is patched in 6.1.x.  At least, it's not mentioned in the release notes:  http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Release_Notes#6.1.2

Personally, I am using Firefox and waiting for 7 to hit RC1 status (which is coming soon).

I care more about running a securable and stable Linux system than taking full advantage of everything.  For me, a rooted phone with DroidWall, AndGuard, LookOut and AdFree is sufficient.  I'd like a solid boot-time encryption solution too, but haven't found one yet.

I'm running CyanogenMod as well.  CM 6.1.2 is based upon Android 2.2.1
- have the CM devs included the patch for the browser in that version?
 Or are they too focused on CM7?
