Android monthly security backports were released this Monday. We expect the full monthly release to be released much later today (Tuesday). It's what happened last month, but last time we expected the monthly release to be delayed a week so we did an early release with backports.

Monthly/quarterly/yearly releases include Low/Moderate severity patches not backported to older releases and are needed for Pixel firmware/driver patches. Those aren't published/disclosed for May yet. We'll do an early release with the ASB backports if it's not released today.

We've reviewed the backports and can easily ship them if needed. We've included the next set of Linux kernel GKI LTS updates too.

We'll have mitigations for the 3rd party VPN app DNS leaks discovered by our community soon, but likely not today's release.
