Samsung Galaxy S20 Gets Operating System Update With Critical Bug Fixes
Samsung is rolling out the November security updates as part of its flagship Galaxy S20 series Android update this year. The November 2020 patch includes details on security vulnerabilities that affect all Android devices, not just Samsung handsets. The software update, in addition to including November security, also improves the stability of the Camera app and the Wi-Fi network.
Galaxy S20 users are encouraged to download the handset to the latest version, as the new update includes vulnerabilities that are rated high or critical. Needless to say, if the update is not installed, flagship smartphones can be exploited by an attacker to implement a denial of service (DoS) attack or remote code execution.
As mentioned in the Android security bulletin, there are two critical DoS bugs, high severity privilege escalation bugs and a high severity information disclosure bug, as well as a high severity DoS bug.
If you want to check the operating system version of your Samsung smartphone, you can go to Settings> About device and About phone. For the update, you can go to Settings> About device> Software update> Update now.
It comes days after Samsung rolled out the OneUI 2.5 update for Galaxy M31 users. As with the rest of the changelog, the OneUI 2.5 update for the Samsung Galaxy M31 includes split keyboard support in landscape mode for the Samsung keyboard. This update would also contain the October 1 security patch. It will also be possible to send automatic SOS messages every 30 minutes for 24 hours. It’s accessible through the new SOS location sharing option in Messages.
