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.
