Android Security Bulletin—April 2017

Published April 03, 2017

 

The Android Security Bulletin contains details of security vulnerabilities affecting Android devices. Alongside the bulletin, we have released a security update to Nexus devices through an over-the-air (OTA) update. The Google device firmware images have also been released to the Google Developer site. Security patch levels of April 05, 2017 or later address all of these issues. Refer to the Pixel and Nexus update schedule to learn how to check a device’s security patch level.

 

Partners were notified of the issues described in the bulletin on March 06, 2017 or earlier. 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 that could enable remote code execution on an affected device through multiple methods such as email, web browsing, and MMS when processing media files.
