Re: "will need updating"
This was the agenda here. It's as if this is an apple sponsored propaganda story against android, just when they have something to promote.
There is nothing to suggest that pre Oreo devices couldn't be patched, and despite what people think they know about android updates, most major brands DO get patches, not every month like Nexus and pixel, but they do get catch-up patch sets.
There is also no proof of concept, and no real way to work out how easy this is to actually abuse, if it's anything like pretty much every other android security non story, then real world exploits will be pretty much zero, and android security is all noise and never any real action...
