Google has released the Android October security updates, addressing 41 vulnerabilities, all ranging between high and critical severity. None of the 41 flaws addressed this month have been reported to be under active exploitation in the wild, so there should be no working exploits for them circulating out there. Older devices that are no longer supported with security updates now have an increased attack surface, as some of the vulnerabilities fixed this month are excellent candidates for threat actors to create working exploits in the future. Android security patches arent bound to Android versions, and the above fixes concern all versions from Android 8.1 to Android 11.1.”]
