Huawei October 2024 EMUI and HarmonyOS security patch details released

It’s October 2024 and Huawei has updated the security patch details for its EMUI and HarmonyOS-powered devices. The latest patch brings some new improvements that will boost the security aspects and offer a more reliable user experience.

With the latest security patch, the company has fixed 6 medium-level CVEs. This time, there aren’t any critical bugs found in the device’s system. However, we recommend keeping your devices up-to-date with the newest software or security builds.

These rollouts often work as a baseline build for the major updates. On the other hand, they also protect the device from privacy exploits and harmful malware that often leads to system crashes, app freezing, abnormal functioning, and data leaks.

Apart from 6 CVEs, the company has also fixed 2 critical and 16 high-level third-party library defects. Installing the new security patch on your device will unlock an efficient and bug-free experience.

EMUI

Huawei has seemingly completed the EMUI 14.2 rollout for its eligible top-end models. Although the company hasn’t mentioned any details regarding the EMUI 14.2 expansion for other models. In this case, it may push a surprising update in the future.

HarmonyOS

The tech giant is quite busy with the HarmonyOS NEXT in China. The new OS has reached the public beta phase. It may step on the stability platform next month alongside the Mate 70 series. You can learn more about the software upgrade HERE.
