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

Being reliant on a single OS permanently nailed to the hardware is no less crazier. I'd like to be able to install another OS on a vulnerable device, it would help tremendously and not only with the security of that specific device.
Now I've got some expensive paperweights that I can't even use as such because every time I see them I have the urge to throw them in the trash can.
Provide a way to unlock the phones and a standard BSP, it should be the law.
Locking OS upgrades to a network vendor is substantially crazier. It creates pockets where the hardware vendor ships a security update but your network doesn't care to ship it and isn't incented to. It is BANANAS.
