Samsung is rolling out a new firmware update including the December 2019 security patch for the Galaxy Tab S6. The update is only available in Germany at the time of writing, and it hits both Wi-Fi (SM-T860) as well as LTE-enabled variants (SM-T865).
Firmware carries build number T860XXU1ASL3 and T865XXU2ASL3; It weighs about 400MB, and should include other features and / or improvements aside from the December 2019 security patch. We are unable to verify specifically the changes introduced through this update, but you can read all about the December 2019 security patch in our report Monthly.
It fixes a wide range of security vulnerabilities in the Android operating system as well as the dedicated Samsung software. One of the more serious vulnerabilities affecting the Android operating system technically could allow attackers to remotely run code on the affected device.
It shouldn't take long before a new firmware release hits other markets, but Galaxy Tab S6 owners residing in Germany should be able to download the update by opening the settings and accessing the software update section. They can also skip this process and download firmware for SM-T860 and SM-T865 from our archive (click on the links for your tablet variant) and apply it to your device using a Windows PC.
