Samsung August update won’t fix the Quadrooter flaw

Android has lately been plagued by security breaches since the news of Qualcomm chips being vulnerable has affected all manufacturers. Quadrooter is one such vulnerability, affecting almost all devices, including Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge.Although three of several other flaws have been fixed by the July security update, the vulnerabilities are not expected to be patched until September. Since it takes OEM’s to release their version of the security update at least an entire month, your device is susceptible to the vulnerability probably until October.
