Nothing much to do for me. Just apply patches as normal.

Edit: I wonder how bad is it on Android

    Android doesn't have su, which this proof of concept exploit requires. Although rooted Android does, so in theory malware written for rooted Android could escalate to root privileges.

    Also, the underlying vulnerabilities might be exploitable without su but I don't fully understand the AF_ALG and authencesn bug limits things, or what other executables can escalate privileges.
