The September 2023 Android security updates tackle 33 vulnerabilities, including a zero-day bug currently targeted in the wild.
"Exploitation for many issues on Android is made more difficult by enhancements in newer versions of the Android platform. We encourage all users to update to the latest version of Android where possible."
Besides this actively exploited zero-day bug, the September Android security updates also address three critical security flaws in the Android System component and one in Qualcomm closed-source components.
The Android security updates for this month target versions 11, 12, and 13, and they may also affect older, unsupported OS versions.
Those using Android 10 and older should consider upgrading to devices running a supported version or flash their current one using third-party Android ROM based on a recent AOSP version.
Roid July security updates fix three actively exploited bugs.
