As per Samsung's security bulletin, the May 2024 security update fixes 45 security vulnerabilities discovered in Galaxy devices.

The Galaxy S24 series was launched earlier this year, and the devices in the lineup were the first to run Android 14-based One UI 6.1. The phones promise seven major Android OS updates and security patches. They will likely receive monthly security patches for at least the next three years, after which Samsung might reduce the frequency of updates.
What's next for Galaxy S24?
The next major software update for the Galaxy S24 series will likely be Android 15-based One UI 7.0. Samsung has already started the internal beta development of Android 15 (One UI 7.0), and the One UI 7.0 Beta Program could start in the third quarter of this year. Based on Samsung's track record, we expect the stable version of Android 15 to be released by the end of Q3 2024 or early Q4 2024.
Before that, as per reports, the Galaxy S24 series could get a big software update that improves the camera performance and consistency.
