This week, Google released Android security updates for September 2020, which include several security updates to critical vulnerabilities that affect the latest devices.

As noted, Samsung Galaxy devices started updating automatically today, September 10th.

These updates include many improvements to Wi-Fi connectivity, the Samsung Keyboard, and the Messaging app, along with some important security fixes. There are also optimizations to the Pro Video capability of the camera.

All the vulnerabilities encountered in this update have been described as either "High" or "Critical" seriousness, making the update necessary for the users of the company, so that their devices remain safe.

One of the most critical vulnerabilities is CVE-2020-0245, which affects the Media Framework component and allows both remote code execution and the disclosure of important information.

Other notable vulnerabilities that are fixed in this update include:
