What version of libwebp does Boost use and if it is currently vulnerable, when can we expect an update to fix this issue? The affected versions of libwebp are 0.5.0 to 1.3.1.

Ah ok, I'll just stop using Boost until the October pixel update rolls out then

Surely Android provides security updates?

Yeah, they're monthly. So the next one is in October like OP said.

So are we expected to just avoid using any software that loads pictures for a month...or forever in the case of models with no more support?

Nah youre supposed to buy a phone and create data like a good consumer.
