That's only for the open source section none of the proprietary stuff. Like Sense, Touchwiz, etc. The RIL/HAL/Kernel are open source, but the code has to be accepted to ensure it doesn't break what manufacturers add.

Manufacturers have a fix, and Google has a fix. Google hasn't even patched their own Nexus devices other than the Play Nexus 6.

If you want to protect yourself for now until the fix comes. Turn off Auto-retrieve for MMS. Your phone can't process what isn't downloaded.
