I just checked, and in the last 30 minutes a update has become available for my Pixel 5.

The security bulletin doesn't reference this CVE specifically but does mention a critical vulnerability that could lead to RCE.

The problem is that they'll use the opportunity to schlep a bunch of non-security related stuff into the update as well. That's the thing that really bothers me about these, that you can't say just the security patches and hold the telemetry/marketing/spyware/adware/crapware/malware/etc.

Updates outside the quarterly feature drops on Pixels are pretty much exclusively security patches so I have no idea what you're talking about.

This is what I'm talking about:

Good luck setting things up in such a way that you only get security patches and not a whole bunch of 'improvements' to go with them.
