Apart from this, the Google security patch for June 2022 has also fixed CVE-2022-20140 and CVE-2022-20145 vulnerabilities. Both of these have been declared critical, which are a type of malware that can sneak into smartphones via low-privilege pathways.

Another critical vulnerability, CVE-2022-20210, was also fixed in the new update. It was found in Unisoc chip firmware, which allowed hackers and attackers to remotely crash phones. It would also lead to denial of service or remote code execution.
