Google patches more than 100 Android security vulnerabilities

Android users, update your devices. Google has just released new security updates for Android that fix a slew of vulnerabilities.

Just how many things did Google fix? A whopping 124 vulnerabilities, according to Bleeping Computer, have now been addressed in Google's June 2026 Android security patches. 

Google addressed some of the bigger vulnerabilities that it patched in a June 1 Android Security Bulletin.

"The most severe of these issues is a critical security vulnerability in the Framework component that could lead to remote escalation of privilege with no additional execution privileges needed," Google wrote. "User interaction is not needed for exploitation."

In addition to that flaw, Google also included a fix for a zero-day flaw that has already been exploited by bad actors in targeted attacks.

The vulnerability, known as CVE-2026-21385, "affects the graphics driver of Qualcomm processors," according to cybersecurity company Pradeo

Google previously warned about this vulnerability in its Android Security Bulletin from March. The flaw enables an attack to trigger memory corruption through an integer overflow. Basically, this means that a bad actor can push more data to a graphics component than it can handle, triggering a flaw in the device's memory management, which can then be exploited to access a target's sensitive data.

Google Pixel devices will immediately receive the updates. However, third-party manufacturers might need to tweak the updates for their specific Android devices before releasing the security patches to their users.
