Samsung has really improved its update cycle plan. Back in December, it has beaten all other OEMs even Google in terms of pushing the January 2020 security update.

And it has already beaten Google in terms of pushing the February 2020 security updates. This February patchset brings in two critical bug fixes for Galaxy devices along with some high-risk vulnerabilities.

In fact, the Samsung part of the security patch fixes 30 Samsung vulnerabilities and Exposures (SVE) items. Keep in mind that the update is being pushed via OTA in batches and will take some time in hitting all the units.
