We don&#8217;t think the Pixel this month is getting Android 13, which is more likely pegged for a September launch.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\">\n<p>For Google devices, security patch levels of 2022-08-05 or later address all issues in this bulletin and all issues in the August 2022 Android Security Bulletin. <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Google lists 40 CVEs across \u201cKernel components\u201d and \u201cPixel\u201d that are addressed by the 2022-08-05 patch level.  Vulnerabilities range from moderate to critical and cover components like the kernel, modem, and camera. <\/p>\n<p>However, this update was obviously postponed as OTA images did not arrive at 10 am PT.  Additional evidence of a delay comes from Verizon, which published details about an unexpected update for the Pixel 6 and 6 Pro. <\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-tiled-gallery aligncenter is-style-rectangular\">\n<div class=\"tiled-gallery__gallery\">\n<div class=\"tiled-gallery__row\">\n<div class=\"tiled-gallery__col\" style=\"flex-basis:100.00000%\">\n<figure class=\"tiled-gallery__item\"><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>The US carrier says a new update with the July 2022 security patch level was released today.
