Is Jolla affected?

Re: Serious security vulnerability found in Qualcomm closed GPU driver
 

Since there is no mentioning which SoC's the vulnerability is present I assume it is present on all curret Snapdragon chipsets.
Hence, yes, Jolla is probably also affected.

Hmm, perhaps, it seems related heavily to the graphics driver on Android. But, given the nature, the driver in SailfishOS might just be vulnerable aswell.
Seems to be patches available already, so hopefully Jolla is watching this ;)

EDIT: Yep!
Someone needs to patch this

Coming update 9 should have the patches for sure. They could already have been distributed with the earlier update but I am not 100% sure (the patches went in the internal kernel tree the same day this thread was started)
