Good news
No new platform is ever free of flaws (nor mature ones for that matter).
It is good to see that Google is working with the researchers to release patches in a timely manner (how quickly the cellco pushes them out to end users is an entirely different issue).
This is a contrast from how Apple seems to deal with flaws:
- refuse to work with the security researcher reporting the issue
- refuse to confirm the existence of any flaws (when the media inevitably learns of it)
- refuse to notify users of any work arounds / precautions they can take to protect themselves
- eventually include a patch for part of the flaw in a larger firmware update with some innocuous sounding description to hide the real seriousness of the flaw
- continue refusing to confirm the existence of any remaining flaws
- quietly patch the rest of the flaw at some later stage
