    Luckily I'm not using any of these apps, but still a good reminder.

    Sure, doesn't matter as long as you you pay attention to updating.
    That's if they are fixed in a timely manner.
    Still, doesn't hurt to put the word out on things.

    I agree, it's good to know, but most of the time when you read an alarming article like this one it's already patched if you keep up with the updates.
