    As far as I’m aware this does affect Android and is not currently fixed. It’s expected to be fixed in the October security patch.

    This is just my memory of reading weeks ago. Someone else may know better.

        I believe the libwebp is implemented at the OS level. Again someone else may know better.

      So if the phone gets a security update for this at the OS level, should we theoretically be safe to use apps with any sort of browser functionality? Like some apps that don’t update, or are no longer being maintained, etc
