FULL STORY
======================================================================Google's
 new advisory details 62 vulnerabilities Some of them are deemed critical, 
and for some no user interaction is required At least two flaws were being 
actively abused in the wild 

Google released a new update for Android, which addresses more than 60 
vulnerabilities. Among them are two that are being actively exploited in the 
wild, and a few with a critical severity rating. 

In a security advisory published on the Android blog, Google said that there 
are indications that two flaws may be under limited, targeted exploitation. 

The vulnerabilities are tracked as CVE-2024-53150 and CVE-2024-53197 and are 
now patched. According to Amnesty International, the latter was used late 
last year to break into a Serbian youth activists Android phone, after being 
chained with two additional flaws.

In Serbia, protests against the government have been raging for months, after 
an eave on a railway station collapsed, killing 16 people. The countrys 
students, leading the protests, demanded the release of all documents related 
to the renovation of the Novi Sad railway station. They believe that making 
these documents public will shed light on any corruption or negligence 
involved in the project.  

In total, Google fixed 62 flaws. While there is no evidence that the rest are 
being abused in the wild, there are still a few dangerous ones that warrant 
fast patching. 

The most severe of these issues is a critical security vulnerability in the 
System component that could lead to remote escalation of privilege with no 
additional execution privileges needed, Google warned. 

User interaction is not needed for exploitation. The severity assessment is 
based on the effect that exploiting the vulnerability would possibly have on 
an affected device, assuming the platform and service mitigations are turned 
off for development purposes or if successfully bypassed. 

In total, there are three flaws that were labeled as critical: 
CVE-2025-22429, CVE-2025-26416, and CVE-2025-22423.
