No fix yet for Samsung. Being reliant on the hardware manufacturer (or network operator?) for OS updates is the crazy world we live in.

I switched away from my flagship Samsung tablet when they pushed it to quarterly updates, meaning security issues often went unpatched for a while. In the fine print of the "X years of updates" they mention that they switch devices to updates only every 3 months and then every 6 months down the road.
