Two new major vulnerabilities, together called "Stagefright," have been discovered and could affect every active Android device out there. 

The two new bugs affect users both with Android smartphones and tablets, and could expose customers to attacks from hackers, CNet reports. The bugs were found by the same security company, Zimperium zLabs, that found several other major security vulnerabilities with Android earlier this year. 

zLabs first discovered the Stagefright vulnerabilities back in April, but the problem now appears bigger than the company once thought. The team informed Google about the security issue and has complimented the company for acting fast. Google will send out a security patch next week that will help address the vulnerabilities.

Owners with even the oldest Android phones and tablets, going all the way back to Android 1.0 from 2008, are at risk. Newer devices that run the latest version of Android, Android 5.0 Lollipop, are also at risk of being hacked, making over 1 billion Android devices vulnerable. 

Through the vulnerabilities, users are tricked into opening a video or audio file that would then allow their phone to be hacked. Just previewing the special audio or video files that have been infected with these bugs puts Android owners at risk of having their data compromised. 

"The vulnerability lies in the processing of metadata within the files, so merely previewing the song or video would trigger the issue," zLabs said in a blog post. 

Attackers could gain access to victims' phones, monitor their keyboard activity, access their documents, steal their banking information and more. Hacked devices could even infect other devices. 

Google tries to keep their Android operating system updated with security patches, but does so in a much slower process than Apple's iOS. Usually, Android devices take much longer to receive the updates to the latest Android version, which start first with Google's own Nexus devices. Some Android phones don't get the updates at all.

Google will soon debut the new Nexus 5X and Nexus 6P. These two devices will be the first to get the Android 6.0 Marshmallow update, which Google is also expected to release next week. Other recently released Android phones will follow with the update.
