Today’s the first Monday of June 2021, which means it’s time for a new Android Security Bulletin to go live. Right on schedule, Google has published the June 2021 Android Security Bulletin. They’ve also started rolling out new updates to currently supported Pixel phones, though as a bonus, the latest update to Pixel phones also brings the latest Pixel Feature Drop.
June 2021 Security Update Bulletin
The Android Security Bulletin for the month of June 2021, which can be viewed here, details multiple security vulnerabilities ranging in severity from high to critical. As we’ve seen in the past, many of the disclosed vulnerabilities don’t offer additional documentation that explains what is affected and how the patch addresses the issue. You can read up on how monthly Android security updates work here.

In addition to providing information about vulnerabilities in the general Android Security Update Bulletin, Google has also added new features to the update rolling out for Pixel devices. Pixel Feature Drops roll out once every 3 months, so the latest monthly update is a more exciting affair than usual.
