Google Patches More Trouble in Mediaserver

Google has re-branded its monthly patch release, bringing a new name and scope to the Android Security Bulletin. Remote code execution Mediaserver vulnerabilities dominate this month s patches. The software serves up media content and interacts with the kernel, making it a tasty target for attacks. Google also patched four similar rooting vulnerabilities in the NVIDIA Video Driver, affecting Nexus 9 devices. The Android Open Source Project (AOSP) is expected to be updated in the next two days to fix the bugs.
