> The article implies that VLC and the others are affected by the same issue (leading to code execution), but according to available information it seems to be completely different issues.
Yes, those are very different issues.
From what I understood, one is an XSS (popcorn-time), one is a heap-based buffer overflow (VLC), and one is a zip-transveral (Kodi).
And tbh, I don't see how you can exploit the bug for VLC (with ASLR and HEASLR).
