According to reports, the internet giant Google have announced that they have launched an update for the nexus range Smartphones and with this the internet giant have kept its promise of giving the Antibody security updates.
Google has patched two critical remote code execution vulnerabilities as part of a suite of seven fixes in its fourth round of Android patching since August.
The updates are part of Google’s recently introduced monthly patch cycle. A few new rumors suggest the Android 6.0 Marshmallow update for HTC One M8 will be released soon, because the software build for this device has appeared in a Bluetooth SIG certification, which means that it has got its certification for the connectivity protocol and it is most likely ready to go.
Two flaws rated critical include libutils (CVE-2015-6609) and mediaserver (CVE-2015-6608) holes which grant attackers remote code execution. Hackers could remotely exploit the vulnerabilities in multiple ways, including sending MMS messages and tricking users to play media in the browser.
With the release of the new operating system, i.e. Android 6.0 Marshmallow, the expectations from Google were beyond any level and that is why, they come up with the best additional features plus operating system convenience.
