Millions of Android phones open to permanent device compromise attack. . . The flaw, which allows apps to gain nearly unfettered "root" access that bypasses the entire Android security model, has its origins in an elevation of privileges vulnerability in the Linux kernel. Linux developers fixed it in April 2014 but never identified it as a security threat. PING! Pinging ThunderSleeps, Shadow Ace, and dayglored for their ping lists.

We the people that write kernel and OS layer code for devices could have told you this except for our non-disclose agreements.
Keep a compiler handy and the source code closer.
