The Android Security Bulletin contains details of security vulnerabilities affecting Android devices. Alongside the bulletin, we have released a security update to Nexus devices through an over-the-air (OTA) update. The Nexus firmware images have also been released to the Google Developer site. Security Patch Levels of September 06, 2016 or later address these issues. Refer to the documentation to learn how to check the security patch level. Supported Nexus devices will receive a single OTA update with the September 06, 2016 security patch level.
Partners were notified about the issues described in the bulletin on August 05, 2016 or earlier. Where applicable, source code patches for these issues have been released to the Android Open Source Project (AOSP) repository. This bulletin also includes links to patches outside of AOSP.
The most severe of these issues is a Critical security vulnerability that could enable remote code execution on an affected device through multiple methods such as email, web browsing, and MMS when processing media files.
We have had no reports of active customer exploitation or abuse of these newly reported issues. Refer to theAndroid and Google service mitigations section for details on the Android security platform protections and service protections such as SafetyNet, which improve the security of the Android platform.
We encourage all customers to accept these updates to their devices.
