That is the most FUD bit of this. There's a very easy way for a user to protect themselves: don't download any untrusted applications. Only run code you trust. Don't trust the sandbox that much.
Vulnerabilities like the android MMS one where anyone could send any number an image and pwn it were "as a user you can't protect yourself".
Local roots and things like this require a user to opt-in to being exploited by running a malicious app. That's significantly different and less scary.
