Android 15 November security patch rolling out: What’s fixed for Pixel

Must read

Following the stable release last month, the first update to Android 15 is rolling out with the November security patch for the Pixel 6, 6 Pro, 6a, 7, 7 Pro, 7a, Tablet, Fold, 8, 8 Pro, 8a, 9, 9 Pro, 9 Pro XL, and 9 Pro Fold.

It’s no longer guaranteed that Pixel patches arrive on the first Monday of the month, but that’s still usually when they are released. As such, this middle-of-the-week update is somewhat unexpected.

There are 21Β security issues resolved in the Android 15Β November patchΒ dated 2024-11-01 and 23 for 2024-11-05.Β Vulnerabilities rangeΒ from high toΒ critical. CVE-2024-43047 (Kernel) and (CVE-2024-43093) Elevation of privilege β€œmay be under limited, targeted exploitation.”

The dedicated bulletin for Google devices lists three additional security fixes.

The factory and OTA images are now live, along with the on-device update (57.35 MB on Pixel 9 Pro XL).
