Google Android June patch fixes a total of 37 flaws

Take action: Not an urgent patch release for Android. A lot of patches but nothing to rush about. It's still wise to apply the Android patch as soon as your vendor releases an update for your phone. Depending on the vendor you might wait for some weeks before the update is released for your phone.
