It’s that time of the month again when Google releases its monthly security patch for Android. This month is what every patch is meant to be, a garden variety software patch that fixes. It also brings forth some Android 10-specific changes for Pixels. There are eight issues resolved in the October security patch. Vulnerabilities range from Moderate to Critical, with the most severe relating to the media framework and a remote attacker possibly executing arbitrary code through a crafted file.

Google notes that “no critical security vulnerabilities affecting the Android platform were publicly disclosed without a security update or mitigation available for Android devices.”There was also an 84% jump in security patches during Q4 2018 compared to last year. This build also addresses an issue on the original Pixel and Pixel 2 discovered by Google’s Project Zero team that could give attackers full device control if a malicious app is installed. Here are some of the aforementioned Pixel-specific changes.
