Samsung's June 2023 security patch fixes 64 flaws

Samsung has updated its security bulletin to reveal more information about the June 2023 security patch. It includes 53 fixes from Google for security flaws (also known as CVEs or Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures) found in Android smartphones and tablets. Three of them are marked critical, while 50 are marked as highly important. The update also includes 11 fixes for security flaws found in Samsung devices.

The South Korean firm has explained three of those 11 vulnerabilities (SVEs or Samsung Vulnerabilities and Exposures). The remaining vulnerabilities won't be revealed until all Galaxy phones and tablets receive the June 2023 or following security patches. These three security flaws affect Galaxy devices running Android 11, Android 12, and Android 13.
