To my knowledge, the Nexus 5 and Nexus 7 2013s are all vulnerable. Since Google had stopped security updates for those devices prior to the bug disclosure, an update was not issued. These devices are vulnerable but no fix exists.

Edit: There is conflicting information on the Nexus 7 2013 (AKA second generation). the iFixit teardown found a Qualcomm wireless chip inside.
