Weighing in at only 9MB, the update contains just two bug fixes although they are rather important. One exterminates a bug that prevented devices from automatically connecting to a 5G network even when one was available. The second bug fix corrected an issue where devices did not drop or reset an existing, encrypted Bluetooth connection after receiving a command to disable link-layer encryption for that connection. Google releases a surprising QPR Beta update to fix a… Source link

Google has introduced a new vulnerability rewards program to pay researchers who find security flaws in its open-source software or in the building blocks that its software is built on.

While it’s important for Google to fix bugs in its own projects (and in the software… Source link

A Google Chrome bug of the worst variety has been discovered: Not only is it dangerous, but it’s actively being exploited by hackers. Google released a fix earlier this week, meaning an update is available, which will bring your Chrome to version 104.0.5112.101 on Mac and Linux and version 104.0.5112.102/101 on Windows.

With all the apps that we tend to have running on our phones, it’s a constant worry as to whether the battery will be able to make it through the day — and that’s not helped when apps misfire and run power-draining features in the background. According to 9to5Google, a recent bug in Google’s Messages app on Android phones left the camera running in the background — a great way to both heat up your phone and run down your battery. The Google Messages app allows you to easily… Source link

Google is bringing an update to older Pixel devices to fix a dangerous bug that prevents users from calling 911, as noted by a post on a Google support page. The bug stems from an unintended interaction between the Android OS and Microsoft Teams — it only affects devices with Android 10 or later and could occur if you have Teams installed but aren’t signed in. The update resolves the “issue preventing emergency calls in certain conditions” On the support page, Google notes that… Source link

Last week, a Reddit user reported that they weren’t able to call 911 using their Pixel 3 and later said they were working with Google support to figure out the issue.

Until recently, Google’s namesake Android app, which more than five billion installs to date, had a vulnerability that could have allowed an attacker to quietly steal personal data from a victim’s device. Sergey Toshin, founder of mobile app security startup Oversecured, said in a blog post that the vulnerability has to do with how the Google app relies on code that is not bundled with the app itself. Many Android apps, including the Google app, reduce their download size and the… Source link
