Google’s security bulletin lists the new security patches released for Android devices.

In addition, vulnerabilities that currently affect Android smartphones are described.

“Security patch levels of 10/6/2023 or later address all of these issues,” the bulletin states.

This month’s update targets 53 known vulnerabilities and two actively exploited vulnerabilities, tracked as CVE-2023-4863 and CVE-2023-4211.

CVE-2023-4863 affects multiple applications and could allow a remote attacker to perform an out-of-bounds memory write via a crafted HTML page.

“This is a security vulnerability that affects many applications,” writes Malwarebytes.

“The vulnerability is fixed if your phone has patch level 2023-10-05,” it added.

Meanwhile, CVE-2023-4211 allows local, unprivileged users to perform improper GPU memory processing operations on your device.

“This vulnerability affects multiple versions of the Arm Mali GPU drivers used in a wide range of Android device models, including Android phones developed by Google, Samsung, Huawei and Xiaomi, as well as some Linux devices,” said Malwarebytes.

“A GPU is a special type of chip used primarily for graphics-related tasks such as rendering images and videos, but also for resource-intensive calculations such as artificial intelligence training and crypto mining.”

To fix these vulnerabilities on an Android device, you must update your software immediately.
