The March 2023 Security Patch for Pixel 6 series could come on the 20th of March.
Source

Google had issues in the past with delayed updates for the Pixel 6, like with the Android 12L update. (it took Google two weeks for that one)

It seems like they are having some issues again, as a Google Support person has told on the chat that the March 2023 update for the Pixel 6 series devices will come on the 20th of March 2023.

Take this information with a pinch of salt, as it could not be accurate,

Remote Code Execution exploits found in Exynos modems, including ones in Pixel 6 and 7
Project Zero

Google's Project Zero team have discovered eighteen 0-day vulnerabilities in Exynos modems. Four of them allow for internet-to-baseband remote code execution with just a phone number and no user interaction.

The other vulnerabilities require a malicious mobile network operator or an attacker with local access to the device.

The chipsets affected are Exynos Modem 5123, Exynos Modem 5300, Exynos 980, Exynos 1080, and Exynos Auto T5123.

The following devices have the affected chips:
• Samsung S22, M33, M13, M12, A71, A53, A33, A21, A13, A12 and A04 series
• Vivo S16, S15, S6, X70, X60, and X30 series
• Google Pixel 6 and Pixel 7 series
• Wearable devices with the Exynos W920 chipset
• Vehicles with the Exynos Auto T5123 chipset

Affected Pixel devices have the fix in the March 2023 update, and it's advised to disable Vo-LTE and VoWiFi until the devices get the update.

A vulnerability in Pixel's Markup tool lets you recover the original photo from an edited screenshot
Source

Twitter users @ItsSimonsTime and @David3141593 have discovered a critical flaw in Google's screenshot editing tool, Markup.

Screenshots edited before March can be partially recovered to see how the unedited photo looked like to reveal sensitive information.

The exploit only works with the original PNG files, with apps like Discord or Instagram being affected as many convert your photos to JPG.

The issue affects Pixel devices and Custom ROMs with the Markup tool.

It has been fixed with the March security patch update and you can check if your screenshots work using https://acropalypse.app

We will be making a part two of this post when more information will be available.

PSA: No one actually knows when Google are gonna drop the March update, even Google Support don't know because they're an entirely separate department, let's quit with the misinformation and ETA questions and wait patiently.
