Samsung's been taking it rather slow with the February patch, no doubt because of the Galaxy S9 and S9+ (and possibly the Oreo update for the Galaxy S8), and with the month-end approaching, it doesn't look like the February 2018 patch will be making their way to most Galaxy devices before March (or at all, if Samsung decides to skip ahead to the March security patch). To recap, the February patch fixes five critical and a multitude of low and medium-risk vulnerabilities in the Android OS, along with 16 vulnerabilities that only affect Samsung devices. More details on the patch can be seen on the company's dedicated websites for Android security updates.
