The July 2023 security patch from Samsung remedies 90 security flaws in Galaxy devices, which includes 52 fixes contributed by Google and 38 developed by Samsung, known as SVEs. These vulnerabilities range from critical to high-priority and moderate risks, with three considered critical and 56 high-priority. Notably, three fixes that Samsung had already included in the June patch are now integrated into the July patch by Google. The vulnerabilities cover various areas such as manual package installation, audio system access control, UWB chipset identifier, broadcast SMS configuration, Galaxy Themes Service, Settings, and internal testing functions, potentially exposing the devices to unauthorized code execution.
