To be clear this possible vunrability is only present when you first enable a subtitle dowload add-on and then actually download zipped subtitles.
Our official download page of course has the regular install files available for the supported platforms. Please be patient if you are using these store versions.
We have began the roll out of this version and Android Play Store as well as Windows Store have this update pending and will roll out as soon as possible. As such we highly encourage all users to install this latest version! Any previous Kodi version will not get any security patch. Our developers fixed this secuity gap and have added the fix to this v17.2 release. When Check Point researchers uncovered this flaw they contacted us up front to let us know about this flaw.

In the previous v17.2 we had a slight issue due to packaging certain binary add-ons like PVR, visualisation and Inputstream. Sorry for this quick bump to v17.3 however we deemed it necessary. Sinds versie 17.1 zijn de volgende verbeteringen aangebracht: Kodi v17.3: A minor bug fix and security release Ook de standaardskin is gewijzigd naar Estuary en voor apparaten met een aanraakscherm is dat Estouchy geworden.
