[security] is sailfish affected by "vDirect Mobile" vulnerability?

News of today reveal a possible vulnerability in "vDirect Mobile" software, which is used in "all prominent mobile oses" for "over-the-air configuration" according to heise.de. http://www.heise.de/newsticker/meldung/Black-Hat-2014-Netzbetreiber-Software-zum-Fernsteuern-von-Mobilgeraeten-erlaubt-Missbrauch-2287821.html My question is, does Jolla use any of that code in Sailfish, or is this vulnerability limited to Android, Blackberry, iOS and Windows Phone? If so, it would be a great marketing timing to go forward and let folks know about this secrity advantage!
