So there’s a webp system library as well as the one in Chrome?

Nice of Google to drop security support for the Pixel 4a just before this bug drops.

You’re saying that Google knew about the bug and purposely dropped security support for the pixel 4a right before? Support didn’t age out, like it typically does (age of device)? Google just pulled security support for this one device?
No, I’m saying it’s extremely frustrating that Google just drops security support entirely for devices like this, when they could continue to at least patch egregious platform bugs like this one, even if they can’t fix everything.

It’s just icing on the proverbial cake that a month after they drop security support for the 4a a 0-click remote exploit is found.
