<p>The September release of AOSP and the stock OS came out on 2023-09-18 and
|
||||
are incorporated into this release. Unusually, they still set the patch level
|
||||
to 2023-09-01 despite having all listed patches for 2023-09-05 for some of the
|
||||
devices such as the Pixel 6 and Pixel 7. We left the listed patch level alone
|
||||
to avoid delaying the release for aesthetic reasons while we figured out where
|
||||
it could be raised. We shipped 2023-09-01 in our 2023090600 release but this
|
||||
is the actual September release from AOSP and the stock OS rather than just
|
||||
applying the Android Security Bulletin backports to Android 13.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The strange timing and inclusion of only a single Mali GPU kernel driver
|
||||
patch in the September Pixel Update Bulletin is due to Android 14 being
|
||||
scheduled for this month but delayed to October. The Pixel Update Bulletin for
|
||||
Android 14 will include a large number of recommended AOSP security patches
|
||||
and many hardware related patches, neither of which will be backported to
|
||||
Android 13, so we've already put a significant effort into porting to Android
|
||||
14 via our limited early access to the source code. We aim to have our Android
|
||||
14 port available as soon as possible after the stable release is published
|
||||
due to the importance for security. It's unfortunate we don't have full access
|
||||
to the sources in advance like Android partners, but we've had access to more
|
||||
than we usually do this year and for longer due to the delay.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>We've also included additional Mali GPU kernel driver patches and a libwebp
|
||||
patch in this release, similar to the kernel.org LTS patches we ship on a
|
||||
regular basis many months before Android. We'll do more of this in the future
|
||||
as our resources and partnerships grow, but we don't have much ability to ship
|
||||
firmware patches earlier until there's hardware built to run GrapheneOS.</p>
