this was quick :grinning: good job Microsoft, I regret not purchased Windows Phone as my last phone, since now my Android 5.0 device will never be fixed unless Google releases a Play services update with a emergency fix

Does this security update fully address this vulnerability on Microsoft Platforms, or do I need to perform any additional steps to be fully protected?
The provided security updates address the reported vulnerability; however, when affected Windows based systems enter a connected standby mode in low power situations, the vulnerable functionality may be offloaded to installed Wi-Fi hardware. To fully address this potential attack vector, you are also encouraged to contact your Wi-Fi hardware vendor to obtain updated device drivers. For a listing of affected vendors with links to their documentation, review the ICASI Multi-Vendor Vulnerability Disclosure statement here: http://www.icasi.org/wi-fi-protected-access-wpa-vulnerabilities
Apologies to Xiaomi - they have released a beta patched MUI to address the WPA supplicant issue and even my old Redmi 2 will get the patch:
