Samsung is back with another security update to its phones.
The Korean technology firm has just revealed its June patch which fixes a number of software vulnerabilities.
Some of these bug fixes are so serious that they have been given a critical status meaning owners of Samsung phones should update their devices as soon as this upgrade becomes available.
The download includes general Android OS changes, which affect all Google-powered phones, with the most severe being a critical security vulnerability in Media framework that could enable a remote attacker using a specially crafted file to execute arbitrary code.
Google says it has had no reports of active customer exploitation or abuse of these newly reported issues but they have now stopped it being exploited in the future.
Along with Google’s security patch, there’s also 11 issues that are specific to Samsung devices.

In a post on its website, the Korean firm said: “At Samsung, we take security and privacy issues very seriously and we are doing our best to respond as quickly as possible.
“Securing your device and maintaining the trust you place in us is our top priority.
