Samsung monthly updates: October 2024 security patch details

Hot on the heels of the first official One UI 7.0 teaser, Samsung has detailed the latest security patch for Galaxy smartphones and tablets. The October security patch brings fewer fixes than the previous few patches that preceded it.

The October 2024 patch fixes 30 security flaws in the Android operating system and 12 that exclusively affect Galaxy devices. It also fixes a vulnerability affecting Galaxy smartphones and smartwatches powered by the Exynos 9820, 9825, 980, 990, 850, and W920 chipsets.

Two of the 30 vulnerabilities discovered in the Android OS are marked critical, as they can cause memory corruption. The remaining vulnerabilities are marked high-risk. You can find more details on Google's website.

The October patch also includes fixes for 12 vulnerabilities found in Galaxy devices running the previous software version. As usual, most of these are aimed at ensuring attackers cannot gain unauthorized access to a device and the user's data. The same is applicable to the fix provided by Samsung's semiconductor team.

The October 2024 security update debuted on the Galaxy S24 FE and will roll out to other Galaxy devices sometime later in the month. Flagship smartphones will likely be the first to get this update, though that isn't written in stone. Some devices might get a few One UI 6.1.1 features along with the security fixes.

You can check for software updates on your Galaxy smartphone or tablet by navigating to its Settings » Software update menu and hitting the Download and install button. Firmware for Galaxy devices can also be downloaded from SamMobile for those looking to perform a manual upgrade.
