The Android Security Bulletin has released a patch for critical vulnerabilities that affect Android devices. The Cyber Centre urges Android device users and administrators to review the provided web link and apply the necessary updates to mitigate these security risks. The most severe of these vulnerabilities is a critical security flaw in the System component, which could result in remote code execution without additional execution privileges.
The Security Bulletin provides detailed information on the security vulnerabilities impacting Android devices. Android partners are informed of all issues at least a month before publication, and source code patches will be available in the Android Open Source Project (AOSP) repository within 48 hours. The bulletin is revised with the AOSP links when they are available.
The Android platform and Google Play Protect mitigate some of the security risks outlined in the Security Bulletin. However, it is crucial to update to the latest security patch level (2023-04-05 or later) to address all the issues. The Cyber Centre recommends checking and updating your Android version regularly to stay up to date with the latest security patches.
