Having seen Samsung engineering practices at first hand this doesn't surprise me. I'd put money on this not being an issue on the Nexus 10, where the Google Android team would have been involved with the product.

According to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2050297 the N10 is an Exynos5 device and thus not compatible anyway. Not sure though if the Google team is reviewing the whole set of patches (and if such a patch would not slip through their hands).

this exploit is probably connected more to the company than the processor. If they can rubberstamp (or not even realize they're) shipping hacks like this they could be doing it again.
