Title

The Samsung Android device must have the latest available Samsung Android operating system (OS) installed.

Control

Review the configuration to confirm if the Samsung Android devices have the most recently released version of Samsung Android installed. This procedure is performed on both the management tool and the Samsung Android device. In the management tool management console, review the version of Samsung Android installed on a sample of managed devices. This procedure will vary depending on the management tool product. Refer to the notes below to determine the latest available OS version. On the Samsung Android device, to determine the installed OS version: 1. Open Settings. 2. Tap "About phone". 3. Tap "Software information". If the installed version of Android OS on any reviewed Samsung devices is not the latest released by the wireless carrier, this is a finding. Note: Some wireless carriers list the version of the latest Android OS release by mobile device model online: ATT: https://www.att.com/devicehowto/dsm.html#!/popular/make/Samsung Verizon Wireless: https://www.verizonwireless.com/support/software-updates/ Google Android OS patch website: https://source.android.com/security/bulletin/ Samsung Android OS patch website: https://security.samsungmobile.com/securityUpdate.smsb
