Android users must take prompt action and apply the necessary security patches to safeguard their devices.

In a recent security bulletin, Google alerted Android users about three critical vulnerabilities that require immediate patching. The Android vulnerability 2023 report states that these vulnerabilities can have serious consequences, including remote code execution (RCE) and privilege escalation, and affect Android versions 11, 12, 12L, and 13. 

Two of the vulnerabilities — CVE-2023-21085 and CVE-2023-21096 — have been found in the System component of Android.  

Cyber attackers can leverage these vulnerabilities by using a malicious file to trick users into executing arbitrary code. Android users must take prompt action and apply the necessary security patches to safeguard their devices.
