Google has released an OTA security patch for Nexus devices. The new Nexus firmware can also be found on the Google Developer site.
Builds LMY48Z or later and Android Marshmallow with Security Patch Level of December 1, 2015 or later address these issues. Refer to the Common Questions and Answers section for more details.
This is part of Google’s Android Security Bulletin Monthly Release process. All partners were notified about the update on or before November 2, 2015. Source code patches will be released to Android Open Source Project (AOSP) repository over the next 48 hours.
Most of the issues this update will fix are minor, but there was one major Critical security vulnerability that could enable remote code execution on an affected device through multiple methods such as email, web browsing, and MMS when processing media files. However, Google says they have no reports of any of these security issues being used on customers.
