Multiple HTC Devices 'Android.permission.ACCESS_WIFI_STATE' Information Disclosure Vulnerability

Multiple HTC devices are prone to an information-disclosure vulnerability.

An attacker can exploit this issue by enticing an unsuspecting victim to install a malicious application with 'android.permission.ACCESS_WIFI_STATE' and 'android.permission.INTERNET' permissions on the device running Android.

Remote attackers can exploit this issue to gain access to sensitive information. This may aid in further attacks.
