CyanogenMod was updated to version 10.1.1 yesterday which addressed several major Android security exploits. Is that something that gets into next touchpad nighlty build or does it wait for next version release. Just wondering.

It should be merged into the nighties as the various devs pull the latest cm code
I'm on a stock 920t on Tmobile and have not seen any new security patches. Manual update check says I'm updated but I've seen notes that there has been an August and September update. How do I get them?
I have the sm-t713 variant. Security update of August 2017.
Does Samsung send out regular updates for these Tabs?
I'm coming from a Nexus 7 with an Oreo ROM and was spoiled with monthly updates. TIA.

I came to this site looking to security updates, too. My Galaxy Tab S2 (wi-fi) , Android version 7.0, shows Android security patch level: April 1, 2017. I have tried "Download updates manually" and it says it is up to date. Is there a way to force a newer security update? Do I have to root and install a custom ROM to get this device secure?
Well, the LineageOS builds are up to date in Security Update matters... ^^

I have the 2016 S2 8.0 but my patch level is August 2017. Since the security patches are now at least 6 months behind, I have a feeling we won't be seeing any more. Is yours the 2015 version? Maybe that's why it's even further behind than mine. I will probably flash LineageOS 15.1 at some point although I don't need its features.
BTW, you don't have to root to flash a custom ROM. Just flash TWRP with Odin and then flash a new ROM and Gapps with TWRP. Rooting is optional on LineageOS.

One more question if I may? After installing LineageOS or other custom ROMS, will they get the regular monthly security patches?

LineageOS generally has weekly updates so every 4 weeks or so, the security patch gets updated (as long as the developer maintains the ROM.) Some of the less popular ROMs may not see updates as regularly.
Right now we are @ 05.01.18 as patch level, next one will follow soon
EDIT: Like... now: @ 05.02.18
I have Build OPS28.49.2 8.1.0 June Security Patch installed on my Moto G5S Plus.
Have severe poor network reception issues.
Is there any newer updates since that leaked build?
Was there a September update for XZ2? If so I never received one OTA. Every month up until September I was receiving OTA.
