That doesn't include kernel security updates though, does it? What does "Vendor security patch level" say? Isn't that still stuck on 1 April 2018?
- Vinnl 7y agoI only see "Android security patch level", which says March 2019 for me: https://i.imgur.com/rdEsUna.png https://i.imgur.com/rdEsUna.png (I'm on Fairphone Open though - I saw their regular OS has had an update a few days ago.)
- rlpb 7y ago> "Android security patch level", which says March 2019 On LineageOS, at least, "Android security patch level" seems to be the OS only and doesn't include the kernel or firmware blobs (eg. the radio stack).
- Vinnl 7y agoI'm willing to check the Vendor security patch level for you, then, but you'd have to tell me where to find it - it's not on that screen.
- rlpb 7y agoI understand but I don't know how. I'm just doubting that the kernel has been updated for security at all. As others have said, apparently we're dependent on Qualcomm for updates and they no longer release any.
- Vinnl 7y agoMost of it is going over my head, but I just received an update for the Open OS today as well, and the list of CVEs fixed is here: https://code.fairphone.com/contentx/2019-08-28_fairphone-open-19.08_release.html https://code.fairphone.com/contentx/2019-08-28_fairphone-ope... Perhaps that might give some insight into whether the kernel has been updated. But yeah, I've understood that Qualcomm is a bottleneck as well.
