Russia again is ahead with next 9.0 update A750FNPUU1BSD2 - Samsung Galaxy A7 (2018) Guides, News, & Discussio

I didn't find any patch notes, but this update don't bring security patch level. So for sure will be some improvements and fixes. Can some russian guy shows patch notes?

I´m not from Russia , but I found this https://samsunggalaxyrom.com/firmware/a750fnpuu1bsd2-sm-a750fn-sm-a750fn-ser-russia There is written something with Camera improvments

I see a lot of people complain about 9.0 and camera, so there will be fix, just to be patient I will wait for EU region to update it.

Interpreting Google's Security Bulletins

I'm trying to understand the wording and implication of the Android Security Bulletins as far as affected and updated versions...
For example: https://source.android.com/security/bulletin/2017-03-01
In the CVE tables they say things like "Updated Google devices" and "Updated AOSP versions" and list Android versions as low as 4.4.4.
Does this mean their 4.4.4 branches have been patched? When I go look at the applicable reference, it's just a git head (hash) rather than a dedicated branch...
I'm very confused by their git structure, tags and branches... It seems their branches are just the last release (no security patches or subsequent updates) and the tags appear to be just the last official patch, not these 2017 bug fixes.
Could someone explain this a bit? For example, I have a 5.1.1 branch (no I don't want 6.x or 7.x) that I want to apply these 2017 fixes to but a simple "git reset --hard <sha>" just breaks the build...
Thanks for any advice here.
I am giving this a little bump because it's an interesting question but there was no answer.

Lack of Samsung security updates

Hi All
I created a custom rom for SM-T705, (fenris) its a very security aware project.
Unfortunately ALL the AOSP/Lineage offerings have no working fingerprint, bugs, or both so I was stuck with a TouchWiz base.
Now having worked it into something different and special I have come to the issue of security updates.
As research goes it seems Samsung only push monthly/quarterly updates to some selected devices, NOT MINE
https://security.samsungmobile.com/etc/qsmr_list.html
Any ideas on a way to proceed?
Obviously the entire rom is effectively proprietary, with much effort needed to decompile to source.
What I would like is to match Google's security patch level
I am doing a BlueBorne patch myself by decompiling the Bluetooth stack, but that's just 5 vunrabilities out of 40 odd just in September !
