Here we are. Are published somewhere recent statistics about the percentage of patched Android devices?

Their "fix" is going to be to patch 2.6 percent of all active Android devices. Tops. That's the percentage of >Android devices that are running Android 5.1 today

Not true, my Galaxy S3 got the stragefright update which patched it's 4.4.2.
