Just as Google CEO, Sundar Pichai, warns the public of the dangers of apps outside of Google Play, the green robot team intervenes on Android devices by releasing the new December security update for all compatible devices that are still supported. The December 2023 Security Bulletin was officially published by the Mountain View giant and confirms the implementation of almost 100 fixes, including “critical” and “high” severity vulnerabilities.
Get ready for the December 2023 Android security update
The December 2023 Android security bulletin includes, as usual, all the technical details relating to the security fixes introduced in patches 2023-12-01, 2023-12-05 and any subsequent ones. In this specific situation we talk about 85 vulnerabilities fixedincluding a critical flaw where attackers can execute remote code without requiring user interaction.
Obviously there is no shortage dozens of fixes for MediaTek, Unisoc and Qualcomm components, including some closed source cases for which no further details can be released. The idea, therefore, is to provide all manufacturers with the new basis with which to prepare the security patch of the month and allow users in possession of still supported smartphones and tablets to remain safe from the most dangerous threats discovered since November after you.
For the moment this update does not appear to have arrived on Google Pixel either; most likely, the patch will land along with the Pixel Feature Drop of the same month in one big update.
