Google released a new batch of Android patches on Wednesday, fixing over 100 flaws in Android’s own components and in chipset-specific drivers from different manufacturers. Android’s mediaserver component, which handles the processing of video and audio streams, is at the forefront of this security update. The bugs can be exploited by sending specifically crafted audio or video files to users’ devices via the browser, email or messaging apps. Google Hangouts and the default Android Messenger applications no longer pass media to this component automatically. Phone manufacturers will have the option to upgrade their phones to one of two patch levels: 2016-07-01, which includes device-agnostic fixes, and 2016-06-05.”]
