<p>The December release of the Android Open Source Project and stock Pixel OS
|
||||
will be the first quarterly release of Android 14. It will likely be available
|
||||
this week, but hasn't been published yet. Since there hasn't been a release
|
||||
yet this month, we're publishing an early December security update based on
|
||||
the AOSP backports to Android 14.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>It's unclear if 6th/7th generation Pixels received a specific Mali GPU
|
||||
kernel driver patch so we aren't raising the patch level for these until the
|
||||
official December release is available. We often backport these patches early
|
||||
but we don't know which patch corresponds to which CVE ID so we can't raise
|
||||
the claimed patch level. ARM covers up the details publicly and only releases
|
||||
tarballs for each major revision without the Git commit history or individual
|
||||
security patch backports they make available to partners, despite partners
|
||||
being allowed to apply those in public Git repositories. We can often figure
|
||||
out the patch corresponding to a CVE ID or vice versa through ARM partners
|
||||
publishing it, but we haven't been able to in this case.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Pixel 4, Pixel 4 XL and Pixel 4a are end-of-life and shouldn't be used
|
||||
anymore due to lack of most security patches for firmware and drivers. We're
|
||||
currently supporting them via a legacy Android 13 branch separate from these
