The Google Android ecosystem is set to undergo a significant transformation in its security posture, with Google preparing to overhaul the method it utilizes to address software vulnerabilities. Google is aiming to strengthen this.
According to reports by Android Authority, the company plans to develop a new framework known as the Risk-Based Update System (RBUS) which will streamline patching processes for device manufacturers and help end users receive faster protection.
According to Google, at present, Android Security Bulletins (ASBs) are published every month, which contain fixes for a variety of vulnerabilities, from minor flaws to severe exploits.
A notification of hardware partners and Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) is given at least one month in advance. Updates, however, will no longer be bundled together indiscriminately under the new approach.
Google intends, instead, to prioritize real-world threats.
As part of this initiative, Google will ensure vulnerabilities that are actively exploited or that pose the greatest risk to user privacy and data security are patched at the earliest possible opportunity. There will be no longer any delays in the release of essential protections due to less critical issues like low-level denial-of-service bugs.
