Thanks for that. I read the article and was really confused at first. I don't do a whole lot of video editing, but I've opened up a .srt file a handful of times and noticed that it was nothing more than timestamps and text. The fact that the article made it seem like this was some kind of universal vulnerability made me wonder, "A simple subtitle file should be opened in read-only mode. Are these programs just reading whatever is in the .srt file and EXECUTING it!?!" That would be beyond horrible.
The fact that it's multiple, independent vulnerabilities makes me feel a little better. I've used Kodi and OpenSubtitles before while watching a movie to search and download subs for the movie without ever leaving Kodi. When it works, it's nothing short of magical.
