Overview
- Google’s August update addresses six vulnerabilities, including CVE-2025-48530, a critical system flaw that enables remote code execution without user interaction.
- The patch bundle also fixes two high-severity framework flaws (CVE-2025-22441 and CVE-2025-48533) that previously required no user action for exploitation.
- Integrated Qualcomm Adreno GPU patches (CVE-2025-21479 and CVE-2025-27038) close vulnerabilities under limited targeted attacks.
- Pixel models from the Pixel 6 through Pixel 9 series, including Tablet and Fold variants, received OTA updates that resolve unresponsive navigation gestures and a scheduled dark theme bug.
- Third-party manufacturers like Samsung are applying the August security fixes on independent timelines, with some Galaxy devices awaiting their Android 16 upgrades before patching.
