Basically, just like most things these days, its all just local privilege escalation. This means that you have to install/run an app that has these exploits built in.
Soif you usage profile doesn't include downloading apps from untrusted sources, you don't need to worry.

In other words, continue as normal: Don't install random crap you don't trust. That this is even newsworthy is kind of strange.
What if an existing app gets an update that exploits the vulnerability?
For sure that's not going to happen to an app released by a major company, but there are lots of less known app created by many different developers.
