Five critical vulnerabilities were reported by Google Monday as part of its October Android Security Bulletin. In all, 14 patches were issued for corresponding vulnerabilities, ranging from critical to high. The relative low bug count for the month of October is due to the fact this month Google announced it would handle security bulletins differently. It introduced a separate monthly Pixel/Nexus Security Bulletin that covers bug fixed for specific devices. The company says the vulnerabilities impact the Android OS and components manufactured by Broadcom, HTC, Huawei, Motorola and Qualcomm.
