Samsung detailed the March 2018 security patch two weeks ago. Since the company had its hands full with the Galaxy S8 Oreo update last month, many of its devices didn't receive last month's patch and will instead be bumped up straight to the March 2018 patch.
The security patch for the month of March 2018 brings fixes for nine critical vulnerabilities that were discovered in the Android operating system. Fixes for dozens of moderate-risk and high-risk vulnerabilities are included as well. Five Samsung Vulnerabilities and Exposures (SVE) items that were discovered in the company's own software have been patched in this security maintenance release.
Samsung is now rolling out firmware version G955FXXU1CRC7 for the Galaxy S8+ in Germany. The firmware is rolling out over-the-air and also happens to be available for download from our firmware section. It's only a matter of time before the latest security maintenance release is also sent out for the Galaxy S8.
Update: Check out the image below for the complete changelog of the March update.
