Samsung has officially released the December security update for the Galaxy S24, Galaxy S24+, and Galaxy S24 Ultra models, for users who have not yet installed the beta version of One UI 7 or Android 15.
While security updates don't typically come with new features, they're important for protecting your device from potential security vulnerabilities.
This December security update includes several important patches that help prevent attacks that could exploit security vulnerabilities to take control of Galaxy S24 devices.
This update includes six important security patches, including critical vulnerabilities CVE-2024-38408, CVE-2024-43096, CVE-2024-43770, CVE-2024-43771, CVE-2024-49747, and CVE-2024-49748.
One of the particularly serious vulnerabilities is CVE-2024-49415. This is a security flaw discovered by Samsung itself. If left unpatched, this vulnerability could allow attackers to execute malicious code remotely, which could lead to taking control of the user's device.
Therefore, Galaxy S24 users need to quickly update this patch to protect their devices.
