Poisoned wifi signals can take over all Android devices in range, no user intervention required

Beniamini’s code does nothing more than write a benign value to a specific memory address.

I suppose that means a practical exploit would require it to be possible to “take over all Android devices in range” merely by writing a malicious value to a specific memory address. Is there not sufficient variation among Android devices such that no one such specific address exists?
