Samsung's big security update expected: August patch will close a critical Android bug
Samsung has announced that the August 2024 security update will be extremely important for all its devices.
Here's What We Know
This update will patch the critical CVE-2024-32896 vulnerability that affects all Android devices. The vulnerability was previously thought to affect only Pixel devices, but it has now been revealed that it threatens all Android devices and allows attackers more control over the device and access to information normally inaccessible to them. Google has already released a second update in June 2024 to fix this bug and now Samsung has decided not to wait for the release of Android 15 to fix the issue.
The South Korean company has confirmed that the patch will be available for Galaxy phones and tablets next month. While the release date of the update may vary depending on the device, country and network provider, Samsung is actively working to roll out the update. The update is also expected to bring significant camera improvements for the Galaxy S24 series. The company may also release the first beta update of One UI 7.0 based on Android 15 for the Galaxy S24 and its other flagship devices in the coming months.
