Google just released patches for the Android Operating System addressing 43 vulnerabilities, three of which are actively exploited zero-day vulnerabilities. The updates are available for Android 10, 11, 12, 12L and 13.
Google notifies Android partners of all issues at least a month before publication. Unfortunately, this doesn’t always mean the patches are immediately available for all devices from all vendors.
Update all Android devices as soon as possible.
