<p>The Android Security Team would like to thank the following people and
parties for helping to improve Android security. They have done this either by
finding and responsibly reporting security vulnerabilities through the AOSP bug
tracker <a
href="https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/entry?template=Security%20bug%20report">Security
bug report</a> template or by committing code that has a positive
impact on Android security, including code that qualifies
for the <a href="https://www.google.com/about/appsecurity/patch-rewards/">Patch
Rewards</a> program.</p>
