They did say any that use the shared library, not just any.

I've just had a look into my flatpak installation, where my default "Platform" (runtime) is still vulnerable. That didn't even seem too much of a worry though since as I found out all of the flatpak apps I use that have a dependency ship their own libwebp. And sure enough, except for Firefox which is patched, none of them is.
$ flatpak update --no-related --force remove
Checking for updates...
Nothing to do.
My base system (Debian) got the patch almost two weeks ago. Might as well trash flatpak for good.
Basically, don’t rest easy and get complacent. Updating the OS distros is not enough.
