Google has released the monthly security updates for Android operating system, which comes with fixes for 46 vulnerabilities.
Three of the issues are likely actively exploited in the wild.
The most severe of the security problems that Google fixed this month is CVE-2023-21250, a critical vulnerability in Android's System component that impacts Android versions 11, 12, and 13.
This month's Android security update covers Android versions 11, 12, and 13, but depending on the scope of the addressed vulnerabilities, they may impact older OS versions that are no longer supported.
In those cases, replacing your device with a newer model or installing a third-party Android distribution that implements security updates for older devices, albeit at a delay, would be advisable.
