So all over tech news today is the recently discovered vulnerabilty of android devices with Qualcomm chips. I downloaded the app that checks for these vulnerabilities and the links to each bug is below. There is very little that users on stock roms can do about this other than wait for Sony to release an updated version of their ROM. I expect fixes to be incorporated into OmniRom, CyanogenMod, Paranoid Android and other custom roms as and when the Open Devices team merge them in.

Lol the latest ROM is merely on the May 1st Security patch, I don't think they'll ever incorporate these patches in.
These are all kernel patches so they should be easy to patch into a custom kernel
The Sony concept team is very fast with updates and security patches. So maybe Concept-Rom users don't have to wait too long for a patch?
Just don't install random **** from the Internet and you're set. Same goes for Windows devices.
There, just saved you thousands of IT budget.
Anybody knows if there is a fix available for krack wpa2 wifi bug.
Thanks
It was fixed on 16 October: https://review.lineageos.org/#/q/topic:krack-n+%28statuspen+OR+status:merged%29
Verizon just posted that
Software Version: MMB29M.N910VVRU2CQL1
Android® Security Patch Level: 2017-08-01, including Blueborne and Krack security patches
The current software update gives you the most up to date Android security patches on your device.
( See https://www.verizonwireless.com/support/samsung-galaxy-note-4-update/ )
Hopefully we will soon receive the Meltdown and Spectre security patches. Wouldn't it be nice if Verizon/Samsung would post an ETA for these kinds of critical security patches.?

Good call, I'll work on the topic presentation.
Thank you all for the kind words !
Nice this is useful!
Latest Changelog Please 5.03 to 5.04
Hi everyone !
The full changelog for the 5.0.4 OTA is available in the first post !
Enjoy !
Thanks for the work this is helpful!
Great work. Nice to know those minute details too. Keep it up.
Just noticed there is a firmware file for widevine in 5.0.4 in the changelog. Guessing this is just a file and the DRM isn't implemented unless done by OP?
Good Job
Thanks for your work making this really good Changelogs

Indeed. Check the 5.0.3 changelog.
Since this build they've added Widevine at firmware level. It requires physical intervention from OP to enable it.
So every build starting from 5.0.3 is Widevine L1 compatible.
Wow this is amazing !
this is awesome .how do you do that?
Why dont they actually specify WHAT they updated?
They just leave us to find out hidden updates items!
