Unlocked U.S. Galaxy Note 20 and Galaxy Note 20 Ultra units and those locked to T-Mobile will be the first to get late security update.
The August security update for Samsung phones and tablets has yet to surface and we are closing in to the halfway mark for the month. There are 50 bugs that are getting fixed with the update. 35 of the bug fixes come from Google with one considered critical and 34 listed as moderately severe. One patch was contributed by Samsung’s chip designing unit, Samsung Semiconductor.
Only 14 of the 50 bug fixes are only for Galaxy smartphones and tablets with most of the bugs giving attackers a way to access a victim’s device. Once they are able to get inside a phone, the criminals steal personal data without obtaining the necessary permissions and they can also cause the phone to crash.
