I find it interesting that a lot of articles on this discount the threat to only 500 million when the article itself claims 630 million, and they haven't even tested Android 4.4 or 5.0 at all, which would extend the issue to over one billion devices, and Google, if it had found the issue and fixed it in those new versions, is required to report the issue as an existing vulnerability which they have not. Ergo, it is a reasonable conclusion that it has not been fixed!
