One Samsung device did get September security patch, but not officially
Last updated: November 7th, 2017 at 17:01 UTC+01:00
In September, we saw tons of complaints from our readers almost Samsung not bringing the September security patch to any of its devices. We withal don't know if the security fixes for September were incorporated into the October patch (they most likely were), but Samsung decided to put the September patch on the dorsum burner and instead focused on plugging the BlueBorne vulnerability on all its devices. But it seems the September security patch did make it to one device: The Milky way S8 has information technology on the Android 8.0 Oreo beta.
The September patch does exist, but it'due south not exactly official
The Oreo beta doesn't but accept the September patch – its security level is dated September v, which ways it incorporates the second ready of exploit fixes that Google releases every month. These never make it to Samsung'southward version of the monthly updates, or they do but the company chooses to keep the first date of the month for the Android security level. Why does the Oreo beta have the September patch but not Nougat? We guess this is considering Samsung compiled Oreo from the latest Android source lawmaking available at the time from Google, which is why the Oreo beta mentions the Android security patch date every bit September v.
What does this mean? Well, information technology means nothing, really, just we thought information technology would be an interesting thing to tell our readers while they wait for Samsung to roll out the October patch to its 2017 flagships in nearly markets. It's been a slow rollout for the October security update, and for the Galaxy S8, we might see the Korean behemothic directly pushing out the November patch (which plugs a very serious exploit in the Wi-Fi standard). It could fifty-fifty wait until the official Oreo release is ready before it offers the latest security fixes to everyone; we volition just take to look and see.
