Summary
- Google released 124 security patches for Android devices.
- A critical framework vulnerability allowed remote privilege escalation.

Google has released critical security patches for Android devices, addressing a significant number of vulnerabilities. The June 2026 updates resolve a total of 124 security flaws.
One of the most severe issues patched is a critical vulnerability within the Android Framework. This flaw could allow for remote escalation of privileges without any user interaction, posing a serious risk to device security.
Furthermore, the security bulletin includes a fix for a zero-day vulnerability, CVE-2026-21385, which has already been exploited in targeted attacks. This flaw specifically affects the graphics driver in Qualcomm processors, enabling attackers to trigger memory corruption through integer overflow.
Google Pixel devices will receive these updates immediately. However, other third-party manufacturers will need to adapt the patches for their specific Android devices before distributing them to their users.
