How to harden current stock image against the current Bluetooth exploit - Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo Questions & Answers

I just did a scan with the BlueBorne Vulnerability Scanner on all my devices, my s5 neo is vulnerable for the exploit (my s6 too).
I'm on stock 6.0.1 MMB29K.G903FXXU1BQC1 , security patch level is july 1st 2017 . Is there a way to patch the exploit myself via adb? I need bluetooth for various headsets, so never using bluetooth again is no option.
I do hope to get some kind of official security patch in the next ?? months, but as the s5 and s5 plus were already served with security patches I'm not sure, no love for the s5 neo I guess

It seems to be a 2017 model that was announced in 2016 from what I've seen so far.
There are no stock ROMs on sammobile so far so your best bet for getting a copy of the stock would be either using the official Samsung recovery software or getting it from another user with the same exact phone.

Blueborne vulnerability , Sep security patch required

Hi all, see link below

A new vulnerability has been identified in Android OS which allows a hacker to take control of a device through Bluetooth. The vulnerability​ has been patched in the Sep 9 security update from Google but it has not rolled out to the Z Play yet , so until then please avoid using bluetooth wherever a third person can gain access to your device.
Below is the link to the app on the Google play store which can be used to check if your device is vulnerable (I have the unlocked Z Play on Aug 1 security patch, retin channel and it is vulnerable)

how to root an S8 G950F with security patch of February 1, 2019 and Android 9

hello,
how to root an S8 G950F with android 9 (German official version G950FXXU4DSBA) and security patch of February 1, 2019, whose security activated by mistake when installing TWRP and restart the phone, now if I try to flash with odin the TWRP tells me that you can only flash samsung official software. Is there any way to disable this indicator that my phone is rooted, even if it is not? currently does not open samsung pay, samsung healt and samsung pass. or there is some method of rooting with ADB or other software, which can bypass the security protection.
Thank you for your attention.
