This is kind of scary :(. How does one ensure that they aren't vulnerable to this bug?

Out of curiosity, what fraction of Android OEMs push these security updates promptly (or equivalently what fraction of Android phones receive these kind of updates regularly)?

There isn't any third party customization to re-validate.
