@a1ba @monsieuricon but (at least afaik) webkit vulnerabilities are faaaaar easier to exploit than going the "regular" way get root privileges on a given android installation think_nyan
and when it's a kernel module, that exploit would gib you kernel privileges.

@a1ba @monsieuricon it was also used for iOS and Nintendo OSes blobcatlaugh
chances are, if you have a device that doesn't get bleeding-edge updates for webkit, it's exploitable
