Several critical remote code execution vulnerabilities were addressed in Android this week with the release of the July 2020 set of security patches, including three in the media framework and system components.
Google addressed two critical flaws in the system component, one impacting Android 8.0 and newer releases, and the other affecting Android 10 only.
In addition to the patch for a critical remote code execution vulnerability, media framework received a fix for a high-risk elevation of privilege bug affecting Android 10 devices.
The update also addresses two high-severity issues in Qualcomm kernel and WLAN. Devices that will be updated to the 2020-07-05 security patch level will also receive patches for high-risk flaws in kernel components, MediaTek components, and Qualcomm closed-source components.
Overall, this month's patches address 25 vulnerabilities.
