Security News > 2022 > June > Android June 2022 updates bring fix for critical RCE vulnerability
Google has released the June 2022 security updates for Android devices running OS versions 10, 11, and 12, fixing 41 vulnerabilities, five rated critical.
The security update is separated into two levels, released on June 1 and June 5.
The first one contains patches for Android system and framework components and the second one includes updates for kernel and third-party vendor closed source components.
"The most severe of these issues is a critical security vulnerability in the System component that could lead to remote code execution with no additional execution privileges needed," mentions the Android security bulletin.
The fifth critical flaw fix concerns Unisoc chips only, so it's only available through the "June 5 2022" patch level.
If your device is no longer supported by the vendor and has stopped receiving security updates, it would be advisable to use a third-party Android distribution that incorporates recent patches and security features for older models.
