Google have already fixed two of the four vulnerabilities on my Nexus 6P according to CheckPoint's QuadRooter app.

 

The four security flaws are CVE-2016-2503 (found in Qualcomm's GPU driver, fixed in Google's Android Security Bulletin for July 2016), CVE-2016-2504 (Qualcomm GPU driver, fixed in Google's Android Security Bulletin for August 2016), CVE-2016-2059 (Qualcomm kernel module, fixed in April, patch status unknown), and CVE-2016-5340 (Qualcomm GPU driver, fixed, patch status unknown).
