Google’s common Pixel replace schedule is slipping as soon as once more. The search big often rolls out a safety replace for its Pixel line on the primary Monday of each month, but it surely’s missed that date twice in a row now.
As famous by Android Police, the March 2023 safety patch arrived per week late (and even later for Pixel 6 customers). Equally, the April replace has missed the standard Monday launch and it’s not clear when the replace will arrive. Furthermore, Google has solely printed a number of the associated documentation for the replace.
These updates often include a submit from Google on the Pixel Neighborhood boards, new manufacturing facility photos and OTA, an Android Safety Bulletin outlining the bug fixes for the month, and a Pixle-specific safety bulletin. To this point, solely the April Safety Bulletin has emerged, although it’s price noting it applies to all of Android and never simply Pixel telephones.
As has change into the norm for Google, the Safety Bulletin has fixes divided into two safety patch ranges, a part of an effort to make updates simpler for producers to implement. The primary patch stage outlines fixes for 28 Frequent Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs) that have been not too long ago found and that the patch addresses. The second stage accommodates one other 41 fixes for vendor-specific CVEs.
Of the 69 (heh, good) complete CVEs, Google deemed six of them as ‘important,’ the worst of which is an Android System CVE that would enable a close-by attacker to execute code on a tool with out bodily entry to it and with out the customers’ interplay.
It stays to be seen when Google rolls out the Pixel replace. Hopefully, the delay isn’t too vital this time round.
