Google Patches Critical Remote Code Execution Bugs in Android OS

The July Android Security Bulletin tackles 44 vulnerabilities in all, with the bulk rated high in severity. The most severe of the vulnerabilities patched is a critical flaw in the Android OS Media framework. If exploited, a remote attacker could use a specially crafted file and execute arbitrary code within the context of a privileged process, Google said. The vulnerabilities varied from OS framework to Media framework bugs, including system and kernel component-related issues. A separate July Security Bulletin was released for the Pixel and Nexus handsets by Google.
