Samsung continues to roll out the August security patch to more devices. One of its latest recipients is the three-year-old flagship Galaxy Notes 9.

New update for Galaxy The Note 9 carries the firmware designation N960FXXS9FUH1 and is currently distributed in various European countries. He should head to other corners of the world within a few days.

 

The August security patch fixes nearly four dozen exploits, two of which have been marked as critical and 23 as highly dangerous. These vulnerabilities were found in the system Android, so they were fixed by Google itself. In addition, the patch contains fixes for two vulnerabilities discovered in smartphones Galaxy, which was fixed by Samsung. One of them was marked as highly dangerous and related to the reuse of the initialization vector, the second one, according to Samsung, was low-risk and related to the UAF (Use After Free) memory exploit in the conn_gadget driver. The update includes "mandatory" device stability improvements and unspecified bug fixes.

Galaxy The Note 9 is one of Samsung's oldest devices that still receives monthly security patches. However, since it will be three years since it was launched next week, it's quite possible that the new patch was the last monthly security update it received.
