Samsung monthly updates: August security patch detailed
Samsung has published details on the August 2019 security patch over on its mobile security website as it prepares to start pushing out the latest security updates to its devices over the next few weeks. The August patch brings fixes for seven critical vulnerabilities in the Android OS; plenty of high-risk vulnerabilities have been patched as well, in addition to two moderate-risk vulnerabilities.
The patch also fixes 17 vulnerabilities that affect only Samsung Galaxy devices. These include a vulnerability in the Gallery app that can result in the acceptance of the terms and conditions for sharing location information without needing to authenticate and unlock the device; another vulnerability allows one to access image information for images stored in Secure Folder by exploiting the Motion Photo feature. As usual, a few vulnerabilities have not been disclosed to prevent exploitation before the new security patch has been installed on a device.
We should see updates bundling the August security patch coming out for various devices in the coming weeks, although we could see a few delays owing to the impending Galaxy Note 10 launch. As always, you can trust us to let you know as soon as the August security update starts rolling out, so be sure to keep checking back from time to time.

Got July patch yesterday on my ATT S10+
Still on June patches on my S10+
I just received the update this morning on my AT&T S10+.
OK, expect the August update in s10 somewhere in september. Belgium and luxembourg are alltime a month later. The lowend and midrages have here so much bigger service.
I feel your pain i live in the same country however in some shops in Belgium there was a Galaxy S10+ for sale with productcode PHN (the Netherlands) they receive updates much faster but i saw it to late …..
Again the A70 in the UK is still on May security patch. This is totally unacceptable. Shame on you Samsung!!!.
Waiting for what? Go and download the latest ROM from Sammobile to secure the latest security patch as soon as possible. I have done it with my Note 9. It won’t affect your warranty. Samsung seemed silently allows us to do so.
still on the june security patch and here you are saying about august
While my unlocked U.S. Galaxy s10 is still on may 1 security update. Unacceptable for a “flagship” phone.
Just got July update on unlocked this morning
What device?.
unlocked US S10+
Did they fixed problem with iris scanner on s9/note9?
What’s the problem with Iris Scanner in S9?
It has performance impact
And once again, Aus s10 5g still waiting for july security update. Surely its not that hard?
