Atleast four million android phones from U.S and tens of millions of android phones from world wide are vulnerable to the security flaw named "Heartbleed" which is now over-populated.

According to Google's announcement, Every device which is running android "Jelly Bean" software which means Android 4.1.1 released in 2012 is vulnerable.

Using data provided by the firm Chitika , It is the first time when an accurate estimate has been done on vulnerable devices. The android devices which are running Android 4.1 or 4.2 are not at risk.

Google has not provided the number of vulnerable android devices but they have indicated that the figure is less than 10% of world wide activated devices. It could be huge number as Google have activated about 900 million devices running with Google services world wide,  and there are hundreds of devices in China without Google services which is not shown in Google's system , that devices in China might be running vulnerable version.

"More than 80% of the people running Android 4.1 which have shared its data without looking are all affected," Marc Rogers, principal security researcher at the San Francisco-based company told.

Google released the first version of Android 4.1.1 in July 2012 which brought a bug fix for Nexus 7 tablets.

Only the version 4.1.1 uses the vulnerable version of OpenSSL as Google noticed it on a blog which was discussing the bugs affecting on Google products.
