Today I received a new update for my lg urbane.
Here are the ota links for everyone:

haven't flashed it myself yet, but it happens to be this version, as other users are reporting it here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=67991013&postcount=44
Build M1D63G
Android Wear 1.5.0.3044569
Security patch 5 July 2016
I flashed it. It's indeed the version above. There is no noticeable change so far.
Just wondering if someone more familiar with the way OP rolls these things out, if they only update their security patches with Android version changes, or if they roll out monthly ota's to keep them up to date.
Looking at the Jan. patch update, it seems there are several vulnerability issues addressed, so it would seem to be in OP's best interest to get an update out ASAP.
Rooting FireOS 5.3.1 and blocking OTA updates will obviously not get any security updates that are rolled out by either Android or FireOS developers. What about Nexus ROM; same situation or would it get new security patches added to new versions of the Nexus ROM?

ggow has backported up to the November 2016 patches. However, a lot of the new patches are for MM and N, so there hasn't been enough to justify a port. He's pretty busy, maintaining several ROMs, so I can see why he chose not to do some later patches.

Thanks, that's what I was hoping to hear, that at least the high priority security patches get rolled into updated versions of Nexus ROM. Sounds like Nexus therefore provides better security than staying with FireOS 5.3.1 and blocking OTA updates.
So I saw some articles stating that Oreo is finally rolling out together with the June security patch. I haven't gotten 8.0 or 8.1 but I do have the June patch. Does anyone know when it could be rolling out for everyone?
I've not seen any mention of a general release of the G5S+ stock Oreo on Reddit or on here, usually if there's an update there's a mention (usually a lot of mentions) somewhere. The latest information seems to be the Oreo update is still in soak beta testing, and Motorola releases the update when they're happy with it. I've no idea when that release may be, if it has minor bugs or is ready, then it may be very soon. If they're finding major bugs, as had happened to other OEMs with their Oreo update, they may hold the update until the bugs are fixed. In summary, you'll have to wait for Motorola.
Me and a friend recently had a conversation regarding how Security patches are handled and I'm curious if anybody knows anything about this. Lets say someone is on a Security patch level from June misses a few months but is then updated to September would that September patch also include the CVE's from July and August aswell?
If updated via Odin and full firmware then yes that would contain all the previous patches and fixes. if via OTA then those will arrive and be installed in the order of release one by one.
If you download your updates via OTA. They will be downloaded to your device once you connect to Samsung's Server.
