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..

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

Today I've installed on my device (E6653 of course) mentioned above the Stagefright Detector app from playstore. The result of the scan you will see in the attached sreenshots I've made.
So I think we've to wait for Sony to fix that in a new firmware release, or is there already a fix to install?
This is the Mediaserver exploit which was fixed by Google with the April patch while Sony's firmware is still on February. Since Sony always stated they won't take part in the monthly fix program don't expect any fix soon.

When did Sony explicitly state they weren't participating in the monthly security updates for their firmware?

LOL, I don't think they even need to, they are stupidly slow to even releasing any updates, maybe expect it in 6 months time when they provide a new update to fix many of the issues we have
http://www.digitaltrends.com/mobile/android-monthly-security-updates-news/
Aside: it's now end of May, the most recent patch level is February, 1st.
Don't expect a patch anytime soon, Sony will Sony...
The vulnerability is mitigated by ASLR.
Otherwise ASLR wouldn't play its role.
What are the chances that an actual system's Address Space Layout matches the layout for which the exploit code has been programmed?
Although I've lost track of when exactly they were pushed out by Lenovorola, I seem to recall my MotoX PE getting a November, then February, security patch and the "latest" May 2016 was pushed around July 20th... If that pattern (pushing out every 3rd Google release ~ 10 weeks later) holds true, might we see the August patch pushed later this month? Or will any more 6.0 patches be skipped in light of the future 7.x upgrade (whenever that may be)?
One of the reasons why I'm sticking with CM. they are on Oct. 5th security patch while the normal stock ROM is far behind

I hear you... One of the reasons I bought a Nexus 5X in June when the price dropped. But looking at my MotoX since then reminds me it's otherwise a better phone imho (VoLTE works fine for me on TMo).
Question: I assume you had to unlock your bootloader to root and run CM ? If so, can you relock in that state? I had to unroot and flash stock multiple times before I was finally able to relock... I could be completely wrong, but I would think the benefit of timely, monthly security updates is outweighed by an unlocked bootloader and root access?
According to a twitter reply from Moto Support, they ditched even the quarterly security update.
" We're implementing essential patches.As new security issues emerge, we will evaluate them and update your phone as needed.-Maya"
Evaluating, means they may or may not release security patches so do not hold your breath for an August updated. Yet, Moto Support on twitter was very quick to reply the first inquiry. I encourage everyone to contact them with questions @Moto_Support Let them know or demands!
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...
Doesn't it seem odd slow updates from Google they patched they official 8.0 builds with the security patches but have left 8.1 alone. I heard there was supposed to be a new build at the end of the month and is mainly due to some features in the pixel 2s their also going to release a new build for all the pixels.. however it seems like they held back the security patch in 8.1 due to putting it in this new build..
I don't recall them ever doing security updates on Dev previews.
Something must be going on. They removed the timetable for dev preview. It showed 2nd preview middle of november, but today it's gone.

Went through many news and YT videos, they are claiming that we will get Oreo 8.0 update till the end of this month i.e., May'18.
Can anyone verify this more accurately?
By the way I don't oreo update from Motorola/Lenovo since when we have XDA.
Using AEX ( Thanks @ishubhamsingh for the awesome work) from a long time.
While commenting mention your ROM too.
Anything other than official updates should be ignored. Other sources usually have no proof and are pretty much just clickbait.
Still waiting
Got the May OTA security update via TMO today. Still no Oreo.
I am inclined to believe that our phones will not be getting Oreo, ever. Motorola's strategy seems to be to kick the can down the road until they can say our phones are "no longer supported." They've left us at the side of the road for dead.
Eventually, when I get a replacement for this phone, it will not be a Motorola.

May update? What device are you on? So far I've seen people on either March or April update plus some rare cases where some haven't received even earlier OTAs

Says "April 1, 2018." Silly me, I thought that I'd get a May security update in May.
