Patches from both Google and Samsung are bundled in this latest update. Google has fixed three critical vulnerabilities in its Android OS in addition to dozens of high and moderate-risk exploits.

Also included in this patch are fixes for 23 Samsung Vulnerabilities and Exposures items. These are the vulnerabilities that were found in Samsung's own software. One such exploit allowed improper access control in Bluetooth APIs, allowing untrusted apps to get Bluetooth information.
