It's near the fifth of the month, and as always, Google just released its monthly security patch for Android. The February Security Patch is now rolling out for the Pixel 4/4XL, 3a/3a XL, 3/3 XL, and 2/2 XL. The original Pixel stopped receiving updates this December.

There are 13 issues resolved in the February security patch dated 2020-02-01 and 12 for 2020-02-05. Vulnerabilities rangefrom high tocritical, with the most severe relating to the media framework and a remote attacker possiblyexecuting arbitrary code through a crafted file, something that has been a recurring every month.

Google further adds that no devices were affected by the said vulnerabilities and that 84% more devices have received security updates compared to last year. As is the case with every monthly security update, the February security patch also brings several Pixel-specific changes. Let's take a look at some of them.

Compared to last month's update, the number of Pixel-specific fixes is far fewer. However, the issues addressed seem to be fairly serious, as one of them involves fixing boot looping Pixel 4 phones. All of the other fixes seem to be trivial and are not specific just to the Pixel 4 series.
