Well done to Samsung for getting the update out quickly (although obviously better not to ship with the vulnerability).
Is this something the carriers get to block or is it direct over the Internet to everyone? One of my big concerns about Android is about the ability to get security fixes. The slow major updates are very public but if security fixes are better distributed much quicker that isn't so much of a worry.
In the absence of reassurance my advice to friends and family if asked would be to avoid Android (except the Nexus models which I think can always be updated).
