Google releases Android Security Patch for November 2020

The Android Security Bulletin contains details of security vulnerabilities affecting Android devices. Security patch levels of 2020-11-05 or later address all of these issues. To learn how to check a device's security patch level, see Check and update your Android version.

Android partners are notified of all issues at least a month before publication. Source code patches for these issues will be released to the Android Open Source Project (AOSP) repository in the next 48 hours. We will revise this bulletin with the AOSP links when they are available.

The most severe of these issues is a critical security vulnerability in the System component that could enable a proximal attacker using a specially crafted transmission to execute arbitrary code within the context of a privileged process. The severity assessment is based on the effect that exploiting the vulnerability would possibly have on an affected device, assuming the platform and service mitigations are turned off for development purposes or if successfully bypassed.

Refer to the Android and Google Play Protect mitigations section for details on the Android security platform protections and Google Play Protect, which improve the security of the Android platform.

Note: Information on the latest over-the-air update (OTA) and firmware images for Google devices is available in the November 2020 Pixel Update Bulletin.

Android and Google service mitigations

This is a summary of the mitigations provided by the Android security platform and service protections such as Google Play Protect. These capabilities reduce the likelihood that security vulnerabilities could be successfully exploited on Android.

Exploitation for many issues on Android is made more difficult by enhancements in newer versions of the Android platform. We encourage all users to update to the latest version of Android where possible.

The Android security team actively monitors for abuse through Google Play Protect and warns users about Potentially Harmful Applications. Google Play Protect is enabled by default on devices with Google Mobile Services, and is especially important for users who install apps from outside of Google Play.

2020-11-01 security patch level vulnerability details

In the sections below, we provide details for each of the security vulnerabilities that apply to the 2020-11-01 patch level. Vulnerabilities are grouped under the component they affect. Issues are described in the tables below and include CVE ID, associated references, type of vulnerability, severity, and updated AOSP versions (where applicable). When available, we link the public change that addressed the issue to the bug ID, like the AOSP change list. When multiple changes relate to a single bug, additional references are linked to numbers following the bug ID. Devices with Android 10 and later may receive security updates as well as Google Play system updates.

New DANGEROUS google play requirement

I understand that but I still think users themselves need to look at permissions lists/ToS further. I check them thoroughly (google play listing and other websites dealing with security) before I even think about downloading the app.

I just think the whole play store needs an overhaul bad. They focus way to much on making it look different every 2 months instead of actually focusing on clean apps and keeping tabs on bad developers and bad user reviews (tons of the reviews are very misleading and often times are jibberish or wrong)

Oh yea I think so as well and yea the play store is 90% horrible apps and maybe 10% good apps.. The 10% good apps are buried in the trash. I use to browse the Google play store everyday.. But now I might look once a week. The amount of in game purchase apps is ridiculous.. I wish that feature would go the way of the dodo bird.
