    Samsung has taken to its official Security Blog to detail the contents of this month's security update. Just like every other upgrade, this release consists of a plethora of patches that Google has developed for the Android operating system, in addition to a handful of tweaks made by the South Korean company exclusively for Galaxy-branded devices.

    This latest update is primarily aimed at resolving an issue that resulted in malware being installed on a handset if the SideSync application was activated before finishing the Setup Wizard. Unfortunately, Samsung was unable to disclose the entire contents of the upgrade as it contains patches for bugs that may not have been discovered yet.
