Google patched four remote code-execution (RCE) flaws as part of its May Android Security Bulletin.
Three of the critical bugs are tied to the System portion of the Android platform architecture, responsible for core apps such as the dialer, email and camera.
A fourth critical RCE bug opens the door for an attack on the Android operating system’s Media framework.
Other details of the patches haven’t been disclosed, but in all, the four patches (CVE-2019-2045, CVE-2019-2046, CVE-2019-2047, CVE-2019-2044) will be sent over the air to Google Pixel handsets over the next few days, compatible for devices running OS versions 7, 8 and 9.
