The improvements made for the Android operating system to work in harmony with more than one processor model and firmware at the same time bring problems with it. For example, some processor chips have a software vulnerability that Google stated in its latest reports that some Exynos processors produced by Samsung are vulnerable to security problems.
On the other hand, while some Pixel models produced by Google itself are affected by this security issue, there are also models produced by vivo using the same chips on the list. In addition, the Exynos Auto T5123 chip, which Samsung produced to provide 5G connections in cars, also suffered from the same problem.
According to Google, the Android phones and devices that are in danger and waiting for a software update are as follows:
- Samsung: S22, M33, M13, M12, A71, A53, A33, A21s, A13, A12, A04
- Vivo: S16, S15, S6, X70, X60 and X30
- Google: Pixel 6 and Pixel 7
- Cars with Exynos Auto T5123 processor.
According to the information also confirmed by TechCrunch, Google and Samsung are about to release an update to fix these problems. This patch will aim to fix these vulnerabilities and protect users from potential attacks. For this reason, if you are using a phone in the list above, we recommend that you install your updates without waiting to avoid security problems.
