Large majority of Android security exploits are in C and C++ written drivers, hence why with each release the amount of freedom with native code gets further locked down.

Those may be security exploits, but the real malware is what gets installed through Google Play.

Nothing can be done to prevent stupid users to install everything that shines.

Even HNers do curl | sh without thinking twice about it.
