If that's the name of the latest Wi-Fi bug discovered recently...
I updated with no problem but wanted confirmation this had been fixed.
Edit: yeah, that's the name https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KRACK

Yes. Google is your friend.
... right.
But XDA is my best friend!
Jokes apart, I searched in this forum and not finding anything I thought it hadn't been covered elsewhere. I was wrong. Sorry.
A different question. Is it normal that Nexus 6P is not getting November 6th 2017 security patch level but only November 5th 2017?

Is the latest update on the Nov 5th or 6th patch? Google's announcement states the Nov 6th security patch specifically resolves this exploit:
https://source.android.com/security/bulletin/2017-11-01#top_of_page
Edit: I'm still on 7.1.2 but I've seen some 5X/6P folks say we're on Nov 5th patch level.

Yes, the November update for the 6P has the November 5th patch date, and so it does appear that the 6P didn't catch it this month. It was only this morning that I went back to discover it was not on the 6th, and so my earlier response was incorrect. I just assumed we had the patch latest date... because we always have in the past. Sorry for that.
Previously, the patch levels have always been the 1st and 5th. This is the first time I know of that there were three patch level dates, and the notes are clear the KRACK vulnerability is addressed in the November 6th patch. Other supported devices may have received the 6th patch level this month. Looks like the 6P will have to wait until next month (or 8.1 DP2).

All good. Hopefully Google will push another factory image for Nov 6th. It's weird there is no mention of the KRACK vulnerability on the Pixel/Nexus specific bulletin below:
https://source.android.com/security/bulletin/pixel/2017-11-01
But there is on the Android security bulletin I linked in my last post. Maybe that is to distinguish that the vulnerability is Android wide? I do think it would help clarify that they addressed this on Pixel/Nexus devices per the respective bulletin. Guess we'll see if another image is released this month.
Edit: Extra info about the Pixel/Nexus specific security bulletins btw:

This is why I was asking about this being normal. By reading the release notes I suspected KRACK fix was not included.
Not patching KRACK in November seems like a bad joke to me. They explicitly promised to patch it in the November patch...
Anyone having idea when oreo will be released for our device? Confirmation from Google?
December 2017
Company has said to provide update before 2018 so we can expect during half of December maybe???
I thought it'll be on November? Now it's moved go December? That's sad. And they haven't released the kernel sources too.
We have not even gotten the november security patch yet

Security roll out post 15th of the month. So we may receive it in week or so.
Leaks suggest that August 20 2018 Google will release Official Android P.. name is still unclear but it will be the name of a dessert (treat) starting with P.
Last few Android major releases were all released at about this time in August, so this makes sense. Then we will get a .1 bump when Pixel 3 is released in November.

If I remember rightly Oreo was released on 21st so makes probably would call this leak legit
Seems about right. Google said it would be released in the 3rd quarter and last year Android O was released August 21st.
Official Android p is coming this month signs of release
Now I've been paying attention to Google I know every month on the 5th Google releases a security patch update well I believe that Augusts security patch will only be included in the official Android p update coming later this month on the 20th..
it's 21/1/2019 and there is no sign for January ota update for me. anyone got anything?
at this point they'll probly just skip it and release just the feb security patch bummer... (no way they send out 2 stables within 2 weeks to catch up - there's simply not enough time to beta test it - i wouldn't even want 2 releases this close to one another because they would most likely be way too rushed out). i'd rather take a good feb release with some of the ancient bugs fixed instead!
i'd love to see how the contract/obligations between google and xiaomi works, i guess they are allowed to skip security patches in extreme cases (holidays) and taking into account that they pushed out the P update recently? they did the same in oct or nov, they simply skipped the security patch. (it's no biggie the feb patch will fix also any pending jan vulnerability)

what makes you think a security patch would fix any issues? if anything a rushed jan patch would bring more issues to the table... yes, everyone's on dec 5. (well anyone who updated to pie)

i thought security patches fixes issues ,and bring improvements to the software. in some cases it can add functions such as 1080p 60fps and slo-mo which was not supported on oreo at the beginning.

a security patch is just that, a security preventive measure. they update the code to preemptively fix security vulnerabilities found. in most cases this leads to issues to fix and they fix those and then test and release the new version. sure, if they have time they fix also known bugs (or include the fixes together with the security patch), but the shorter the time the more likely it is that they in fact cause more problems then they fix... of course, the most likely moment to get a bug fixed is with a security patch release (since bugs if they're not critical won't get their own release just for them and instead they will be included with the next security patch version) but in most cases they are not fixed by the security patch (unless it's some bug related to security).

It will never be solved. Get a replacement, your new unit will be ok.
Seems like Xiaomi doesn't care about fixing bugs, even the small bug of the brightness (doesn't go below 19% in auto) isn't fixed in this update. Just another security patch.
Can someone send the download link of January update? My phone doesn't seem to be getting it..

Glad I found that it got pulled because I was curious to know why I'm in December 9.0 still lol. Good call tho too many people reported bootloop
I received January update today, I installed the rom from december update and when I was seeing configs the january update was installed
I flashed the rom yesterday
Does anyone know why the International/US VERSION has not gotten an update in months and is still on the November security update? When can we expect an update?
No crystal ball, but hopefully OnePlus will get cooking for us!!
I'm wondering the same thing!
