How does Qualcomm patch these zero-day holes in their chipsets?
Does the company upload a firmware patch? Does the carrier? Google?

 Qualcomm provides software patches for the drivers.
 Device manufacturers have to use these patches as part of a security
update if they use the affected chipsets in their devices.

It isn't crystal clear whether google play system updates can provide this type of fix, bypassing the manufacturer ...
