Google recently issued its June Android Security Bulletin that is designed to patch 34 vulnerabilities, all of which Google designates as high-severity defects. The most serious flaw the patch is designed to fix in the Android system would allow threat actors “to achieve local escalation of privilege with no additional privileges required.” The bulletin contains two security patch levels so that “Android partners have the flexibility to fix a subset of vulnerabilities that are similar across all Android devices more quickly.”
The bulletin provides common questions and answers for Android users, including how to determine if your device is updated, why it has two security patch levels, how to read its entries, and how to update Google Play.
Google states, “Android partners are encouraged to fix all issues in this bulletin and use the latest security patch level.”
If you own an Android device, confirm that you have patched these vulnerabilities as soon as possible.
