Android users are being told to patch their Android OS Nougat (7.0), Oreo (8.0) and Pie (9.0) as soon as updates are available after a bug related to PNG images was found.

When you view the PNG image in your phone, the commands will be executed. “Privileged process” means that the malicious code will have access to all the functionalities of your phone.

Or at least they rarely get reported. Android's more open nature, however, brings exploits to light more easily and more regularly, which, in theory, should mean they also get patched up faster.
