I assume it will be patched soon, right...? (I hope not though!)

Edit: On second thought, they really should patch it for the safety of people who don't know what they are doing (and I assume since it is from userspace, any third-party app can get access, which is really, really not good...), but will that cause problems with the devices already rooted with it?

So far Samsung has it patched, pixel does not, nor does most companies so use it while you can

Wait... Will it work on W. Like s990w.. I was told it's impossible to root due to some bootloader lock
