Previously, Google Pixel 2 devices were encountering screen burn-in issues, causing inconvenience and frustration among users. Since the occurrence of this Pixel 2 screen burn-in problem, Google has been consistently taking measures to improve the issue on its devices and releasing new patches.
It is known that Google will release the latest security patch to address vulnerabilities from the Android Security Bulletin in January 2018, on the second day of the year, providing users with solutions to keep their Nexus 5X, Nexus 6P, Pixel, Pixel XL, Pixel 2, Pixel 2 XL, and Pixel C devices safe at all times.
According to the Bulletin, Google has patched a total of 38 critical vulnerabilities across various components such as Android runtime, media framework, kernel, as well as other components from LG, HTC, MediaTek, NVIDIA, and Qualcomm.
Google highlights the most critical security issue found in the Media framework, which could allow attackers to execute remote attacks using a specially crafted file to execute arbitrary code with Admin privileges.
Google also notes that there have been no reports of new security vulnerabilities from users. However, the company advises users to update the Android 2018 security patch on their devices as soon as possible.
To provide the best protection for your device, you should install antivirus apps on Android such as Avast, Avira to ensure 24/7 protection. After installing these android virus removal apps, you can browse the web freely.
