There is a profile to auto install updates either immediately or at a specified time (system updates if using the AFE model) but you have to have them so you need to lookup if there are any security patches for that model with it at 8.1 your chances at anything remotely secure or recent are not good you probably need new devices if you want to be secure.

Hi Stephan,
Thanks for the response. Our Security team is requesting to update specific security patches by going to

https://source.android.com/security/bulletin

Is there a specific way in which I can push a specific patch CVE-2019-2232 to the device.

Please Advice.

Android patches do not work that way they have to be made for a specific model and they require the previous patch Samsung lets you push to a certain level instead of all the way to up to date for that model but they still have to have released the patch and with what you described they probably did not.  Also that is a weirdly trivial patch for them to insist on there are full remote code execution vulnerabilities out there
