Solved: Jelly Bean update

Anonymous · ‎26-01-2013

My Galaxy S3 downloaded an update today for Jelly Bean, the message that came with it said it had new features and bug fixes. Does anyone know exactly what these features and bugs fixes were?

I'm on 3 and the download was 8.33 MB.

Its the security update for the exynos security flaw.

"Last month, there was a security flaw exposed in the Samsung Exynos, which could potentially allow a malicious app to gain root access to a user's device with user consent. Root access could lead to plenty of bad endings, but the issue is getting resolved as Samsung has pushed updates to two new devices today which will close the security hole."

Not sure which one is the firmware one, but I think the last relates to 3.
