Google’s mobile operating system for hundreds of millions of users is scheduled to receive one of the largest security fixes ever compiled in a single month, according to a Google security bulletin published Monday.
The monthly security bulletin for May 2017 contains a list of so many security vulnerabilities that it had to be split into two separate “patch levels.” The first patch (2017-05-01) contains a list of over 100 security vulnerabilities common to all Android devices, while the second patch (2017-05-05) covers additional fixes for hardware drivers and kernel components that are present only in some devices.
