Galaxy Note 8 owners will find nothing but the latest security patch in the update that's rolling out right now. The September patch brings fixes for four critical vulnerabilities that were found in the Android operating system and 17 vulnerabilities that only affect Samsung's software. The latter include a vulnerability that enabled brute force attacks on the screen lock password and one that allowed attackers to change the USB configuration without needing to unlock a secured device.
You will be able to download the Galaxy Note 8 update over the air by hitting the Download and install option in the Software update section of your phone's Settings app. As always, you can also upgrade by downloading the relevant firmware from our firmware archive and flashing it on your phone manually using a Windows PC.
