My K8 yesterday received OS update. It was security patch level update. Phone is not more vulnerable to blueborne Bluetooth exploit, and probably dirty cow exploit.
What's your model, mine is LG k350n and I received only Aug security patch

Mine is K350nds
I have a K350Z and I did the update.
My phone had some strange typos and "engrish" before the update on the update section. It was just mine?
Sadly, I didnt take a screenshot before doing it.
Does anybody knows when will K8 X240 get android nougat?

Dear all,
I was wondering what the latest LG G4 H815 security patch is? My phone's latest security patch is the 2016-07-01 patch, and I was wondering if this is normal.
I've got a slightly later version 2016-09-01 but still well out of date. Make sure & send an email to [email protected] to ask why, I do every few months just to show people care.
I think that this beta nougat have newest security patch for g4 h815.
V29 have 2017-07-01 security patch.
Just like the topic says, are we vulnerable to this new exploit or not? If so, how can we patch it? I can't seem to find any information regarding the Note 4 being patched, only the Note 5 and thereafter.

I too was searching for this answer and a Google search led me to this: https://9to5google.com/2018/01/10/meltdown-spectre-android-updates/
I'm still searching for official info but I'm not surprised the Note 4 isn't getting patched. I'm more miffed my 2016 revision Tab S2 isn't getting patched. That sucks.

I saw the same page. Someone out there has to know how to patch a security update for us and other users of older phones. It's gotta be possible. I read that one user of an ASUS motherboard patched his own BIOS for the threat(s).
I was assured by a Samsung rep that the Note 4 would receive a security update, but I'm not sure I believe that it will.
Verizon Galaxy Note 4's have started receiving a security update!!!!
Within the past half-hour (currently 1/17/2018 at 10:45pm) I received a notification to install the update. Hopefully this update will address the KRACK, Meltdown, and Spectre vulnerabilities.

Can I install this on a ROM or should I ask the ROM's author?
Sent from my SM-N910V using Tapatalk
Most likely the update is only for stock firmware, so you should check with your ROM author.
The update is confusing. After applying the update I looked in Settings, About Phone and the Security Patch level still shows as August 1, 2017 (suggesting that none of the security vulnerabilities like KRACK, Meltdown, or Spectre have been addressed). The Kernel version and SE for Android status now show December 6, 2017, so something has changed.
Under Settings, System updates showing that the last system update was a software update to N910VVRU2CQL1 and that it was applied today (Jan 17,2018). So far I haven't found any documentation for this update so it is totally unclear what has been changed or fixed.
Verizon just posted that
Software Version: MMB29M.N910VVRU2CQL1
Android® Security Patch Level: 2017-08-01, including Blueborne and Krack security patches
The current software update gives you the most up to date Android security patches on your device.
( See https://www.verizonwireless.com/supp...note-4-update/ )
Hopefully we will soon receive the Meltdown and Spectre security patches. Wouldn't it be nice if Verizon/Samsung would post an ETA for these kinds of critical security patches.?
January security patch is rolling out with KRACK security fixes.

When owning a midrange "motonovo" device, being optimistic and having hope is the best strong suit for waiting on updates ?

I'm hoping feb 9th. My birthday lol. I've tried every ROM out there and they're all excellent, but I just can't deal with the camera. I need shutter speed and iso adjustments so pictures of things like the moon look like what we see rather than a random white dot. I haven't been able to find any ROM that does it better than a stock variant with Moto camera in professional mode, so I'm stuck on Nougat until Lenovotorola gets off their butts and gives us Oreo.
Just recieved today November patch, lol, XT1680 retar channel. Just Wondering why I was at compilation NPNS25.137-15-11 and now is NPN25.137-97.

It looks like oreo is closer.. end of january or start of february probably.. unless lenovo screw up again
-------------
This security patch changelog was up since november, so there is no reason for us not to get oreo, i mean it is probably outdated.
Can anyone with XT1686 (Indian variant) post a screenshot of the build number of the latest January update?

I know that a January security patch is due tho but it won't be 137-92/93
I don't think the january patch will be released alone, it will come along with oreo mid-feb

You might be right
Does anyone know why my g5 plus hasn't been updated in so long,
It says software channel retgb and I'm still on 1st august security patch, honestly this is making me want to go back to iPhone, that's getting on for 5 months out of date for basic security.
retgb here also, security is only an issue if you use phone unwisely, in locations wifi you cannot trust, apps installed from unknown sources or dodgy websites, if not doing any of the above you should be fine.
There is only so much security you can build into any OS, the rest is down to you.

Is that the same security patch level though?
Android Security : Includes the updates of Android security patches through April 1st 2018.
So though to 1st April would be March, but not April... Unless there was a security patch on April 1st??
Edit.. Just checked and the security patch after March was on 2nd April. So the patch for G5S seems to be for March security patches also.
Just received March security patch in Poland (RETEU).
Well, i will probablu receive this patch in 10 days because RETLA is the last one receiving these patches
