Google released a new batch of Android patches on Wednesday, fixing over 100 flaws in Android’s own components and in chipset-specific drivers from different manufacturers.
Android’s mediaserver component, which handles the processing of video and audio streams and has been a source of many vulnerabilities in the past, is at the forefront of this security update. It accounts for 16 Android vulnerabilities, including 7 critical flaws that can allow an attacker to execute code with higher privileges.
