Samsung has initiated the deployment of the February 2024 security update for the Galaxy S23 lineup across Europe. This move comes after the update’s prior release in the United States and Korea. The new firmware aims to enhance both the stability and security of the Galaxy S23 smartphones, addressing multiple known vulnerabilities.
Update Details and Availability
The security enhancement is now accessible for the Galaxy S23, Galaxy S23 Plus, and Galaxy S23 Ultra models. Owners of these devices can identify the updates by their specific firmware versions: S911BXXS3BXAD, S916BXXS3BXAD, and S918BXXS3BXAD. This rollout is set to ensure that European users of Samsung’s latest flagship experience improved device protection.
Comprehensive Security Patches
Incorporating security patches from both Google and Samsung, the February update provides a robust defense against cyber threats. Google’s contribution rectifies 79 Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) items, which include 3 critical and 76 high-risk issues.
