Here is what the December security update addresses as mentioned by Google on its official Security bulletin page.

The most severe of these issues is a critical security vulnerability in the Media Framework component that could lead to remote information disclosure with no additional execution privileges needed. The severity assessment is based on the effect that exploiting the vulnerability would possibly have on an affected device, assuming the platform and service mitigations are turned off for development purposes or if successfully bypassed.

OnePlus 8 and 8 Pro updated with December security patch and bug fixes – Phandroid

/in


While many Pixel 6 and 6 Pro owners continue to await the arrival of the December Android security patch, another non-Pixel phone is being updated with it. This time, OnePlus has started rolling out the patch to owners of the OnePlus 8 and OnePlus 8 Pro.

In the update, which carries a version number of 11.0.10.10, doesn’t have much else to offer other than the security patch. However, there are a few other bug fixes that OnePlus has implemented in the update. Here’s the full changelog as published on the OnePlus Forums post:

Changelog

  • System
    • Optimized the UI display of Settings interface
    • Fixed the issue that Google Assistant and Gpay doesn’t display as expected in the Setup Wizard
    • Fixed the low probability issue of WhatsApp crash
    • Updated Android security patch to 2021.12

It seems that some OnePlus 8 owners have been unable to reliably use WhatsApp, but it’s because of the previous OxygenOS release, and not the app itself. OnePlus is also providing a fix related to how Google Pay and Google Assistant appear when going through the setup process.

As expected, OnePlus is rolling out this latest update incrementally, meaning that it’s arriving for a small subset of users before being made available for everyone. OnePlus is expected to have this update arrive on all phones within the next few weeks, provided that no other bugs appear to pause the rollout. If you haven’t received the update yet, you can manually check to see if it’s available by heading into the Settings app, going into System, and checking the System Updates section.

/in


Google’s December security patch is finally rolling out to the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro, according to 9to5Google and Reddit.

The update was delayed more than a week, but it’s here now and comes with 80 bug fixes and much-needed improvements.

Some of the standouts of this update include improved fingerprint sensor stability and performance, fixes for screen flickering, and full 23W wireless charging from the Pixel Stand 2.

Further, there are also some specific camera updates included as well.

  • General image quality improvements in camera preview / capture
  • General improvements for camera stability and performance
  • General improvements for auto-focus response in certain capture modes
  • General improvements for color consistency in viewfinder preview
  • Fix for issue causing blank viewfinder preview in certain conditions

You can check out the full list of fixes, here.

The patch also fixes several security vulnerabilities that ranged from moderate to high. To download the update head to ‘Settings’ > ‘System’ > ‘System update.’

It’s worth mentioning that I haven’t received the update on my Pixel 6 Pro and many others on Reddit are also waiting for the patch, so it seems as the update hasn’t hit everyone. Hopefully, it won’t take too much longer.
