My 'flagship' OnePlus 5 is vulnerable today, according to their linked app.

While I totally believe that my device will receive a patch at some point in time, the majority of devices out there will probably never receive the patch Google provided. And even this recent phone is now vulnerable to a vulnerability that was just disclosed to the public at large..

I'd say Android is pretty much in deep (or rather: deeper than usual) shit as well, not just Linux
