Google rolls out Android 14 November 2023 Security Patch including Pixel storage bug fix
Google has begun the rollout of its monthly software update for November 2023. This update addresses several bugs for eligible Pixel devices running stable Android 14, including that nasty storage access bug that's been affecting Tensor-powered Pixels such as the Pixel 6 and newer.

In addition to Android security vulnerabilities, this update listed as build UP1A.231105.00X, includes additional fixes for Google devices. The list of supported devices includes the Pixel 4a (5G), Pixel 5, Pixel 5a (5G), Pixel 6, Pixel 6 Pro, Pixel 6a, Pixel 7, Pixel 7 Pro, Pixel 7a, Pixel Tablet, Pixel Fold, Pixel 8, and Pixel 8 Pro.

For the Pixel 4a (5G), this will likely be the device's last monthly security and Android version update as it has reached "end of life" this month. The Pixel 4a (NOT 5G), is also getting a security update today, although this one is for Android 13 instead and is listed as build number TQ3A.230805.001.S1.
