I ran a heartbleed scan and apparently, Baldur's Gate for Android is vulnerable. Doubt it's a real risk, but now you know :)

    I don't know a crap about Android but I can assume that this does not mean that we can make sausages out of Android verson of BG:EE, right?
    Seriously, does this mean that it's vunerable to virus/other programes trying to affect BG:EE and _that_ stuff?

    No, what this means is that (very rough approximation) when Baldur's Gate for Android is open to / converses with the internet (i.e. for multiplayer, and maybe the downloadable content check), a malicious party could get random chunks of memory data from it. I can't say for sure, but I think it's limited to game memory.

    @wbouvy, when it has in-game purchases that use the internet to make transactions, it's best to at least take a look at it even if they are not going across the same protocol.

    Yeah, this is trivial to fix. Disabling the openssl heartbeat or upgrading to a newer version would fix it.
