Android users are advised to promptly check for the latest Google software update in their device settings. Google has rolled out a new release addressing 107 security vulnerabilities in the Android operating system, with two of them being zero-day issues actively exploited by cybercriminals.

The most critical security flaw identified by Google is a vulnerability in the Framework component that could result in remote denial of service without the need for additional execution privileges. The severity rating emphasizes the potential impact if device protections are compromised.

Owners of Pixel devices are urged to install the update immediately, while users of other Android manufacturers like Samsung, Honor, and OnePlus may experience delays in the rollout. Google highlights that newer Android versions have enhanced security features to deter exploitation, stressing the importance of updating whenever possible.

To update an Android device:
– Connect to Wi-Fi for faster and more reliable updates.
– Ensure the phone is charged to at least 50% or plugged in.
– Navigate to Settings, select System, then System update.
– Click on Check for update, and proceed to download any available updates.
– After the download completes, tap Install for the phone to restart and finalize the update process.

It is strongly recommended that Android users install the update promptly to safeguard their devices against these newly identified threats.
