Samsung Reveals What Its May 2025 Update Protects Your Galaxy From

There is good news for Galaxy users. Samsung has begun deploying its security update for May 2025. As usual, this software update arrives to fix a large number of security flaws and keep our devices protected.

While Samsung doesn’t typically offer specific details about each vulnerability it addresses (a precautionary measure to prevent cybercriminals from exploiting them), it has revealed some highlights of what this latest security package includes.

Samsung’s May 2025 security update fixes dozens of vulnerabilities in Galaxy phones

Firstly, this patch integrates a series of important fixes for the Android OS. This month, Google has also updated the “anti-rollback” threshold. This means that users can’t revert to an older software version. The company took this action after discovering an actively exploited vulnerability in previous updates.

In addition to the fixes provided by Google, Samsung Semiconductor has included a couple of solutions for vulnerabilities that directly affected the proprietary hardware of Galaxy devices. But that’s not all. The May 2025 security patch for Samsung products also brings up to 20 fixes for security holes that had been found in its own software (One UI skin and Samsung’s apps/services).

Although the specific details of these vulnerabilities are kept secret for security reasons, Samsung has offered some examples. One of them allowed unauthorized access to the SmartManagerCN application. It’s notable that this one applies only to devices in China. Another vulnerability put confidential information at risk within the Enriched Call feature.

Several vulnerabilities were reported to Samsung by researchers

These vulnerabilities were reported to the company privately by security researchers. Samsung has a rewards program for those who discover flaws in their devices, offering up to one million dollars for the most severe errors. In this way, the firm tries to keep its products as secure as possible.

Currently, only the Galaxy S25 series has received the security patch. Samsung is likely to expand its availability to more eligible models in the coming days.
