Google released a December 2019 Android security patch for its latest Android 10 mobile operating system series to address some of the most critical security vulnerabilities. Composed of December 1, 2019, and December 5, 2019 security patch levels. The December 2019 Android security patch addresses Android components, Android framework, media framework, Android system, kernel components, and Qualcomm components.

The most critical security issues fixed in this update are reported to affect Framework components and may allow remote attackers to permanently deny service. It also fixes a vulnerability that could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code in the context of a privileged process by using a specially crafted file, and the vulnerability could allow a local attacker with privileged access to access sensitive data.
