While we’re still a while away from the yet-to-be-named Android P, we’ve got a fair idea about some of the changes it brings, thanks to the Android P Developer Preview, released a few weeks ago. For now, we’ll have to do with the monthly Android security patch for the month of June. The patch is rolling out today with the bug fixes and security updates for Pixel and Nexus devices.

There are 20 issues resolved in the June security patch dated 2018-06-01 and 38 for 2018-06-05. Vulnerabilities range from high to critical, with the most severe relating to the media framework and a remote attacker possibly executing arbitrary code through a crafted file, something that has been a recurring theme in the past few security updates.
