Hi all,
THERE IS NO SUBTITLE VULNERABILITY
maybe you read some of this article:

and so on...
and now you thinking - OMG, attackers maybe hack my computer. Nope. We take these issues seriously, so we looked into it. All the hype is caused by "200 million users...". We identified vulnerability, checked, if it was used and found out, it was used just security company CheckPoint, when they test it, nobody else used it and nobody was affected.
Mentioned vulnerability is fixed now and there is no vulnerability even if you don't upgrade your player/media center. But of course it is better if you have latest versions of software.
Also, we can not guarantee, if other subtitles sites fixed this problem.
