kodi and vlc security problems

Just seen on the web kodi and vlc and a few other media players that there is a security problem with the subtitles. Kodi have put out a krypton 17.2 patch to fix. I t seems that 17.1 and older versions are vulnerable to possible hacks to subtitles that you download. Anyone else heard about it yet? I found it on tvaddons site [ admins block out that site if i'm breaking any rules,] Thanks

Just seen the krypton 17.2 patch on official koditv site.

Yes, thanks, I put in the 17.3 a few days ago and seems to be working fine. Works only with android 5. and above, will not work with any forks like cemc,spmc or others.
