Has anyone heard about this and does anyone know if anyone here is working on a patch that can be applied in twrp or fixed via an app or something?

It was silently patched in the November security patch. This is a good reason why devices should be kept up to date.

I was notified today 6/1/15 there was a update available. So, like I normally do I installed it. It was supposedly about stability and security. Can anyone give me some more info on this?

Be careful with any updates regarding security. Often these updates patch exploits which means you can lose root.
I do not accept any security updates and have updates to security policy disabled.
Just disabled security update, thanks. Don't you know I was going to root today or tomorrow! Guess I will see if I messed up.
It does not say what the heck it is, and I'm cautious about updating. Anyone know what this update does?

Probably a fix for the Stagefright vulnerability. http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-3-att/general/stock-receiving-update-t3177271
Im rooted on oc1 and want to know if this small update will break my root, so ill wait.
It is the stagefright patch. It will most likely break root if you update. All it fixes is stagefright and that's it. Nothing else.
I just got the update msg and i am afraid to update because if i do i may lose the Root and ect ha?!
I'm pretty sure you don't have the OneUI 2.5 update. Maybe the OneUI 2.1 but definitely not the 2.5 one. Even the S10/Note10 don't have it yet and we're after them. Also if you're rooted you shouldn't receive OTA updates at all. Can you attach a screenshot so it's clearer what you got?
This is what i got. May be it is or some security + software update
That was last months update.
The August update is ETH1
Ohh!!! Ok i thought it's the new one ??* if i update this i will lost root and may be boot loop?
I still think that if you're rooted you shouldn't have received this though. You sure you're rooted? Check with this app please just in case: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.joeykrim.rootcheck
Yes. Rooted and using all rooted apps in here
I am on the stock firmware. Yestrday, I receieved a push notification that the December security update was downloaded waiting. Since it appeared in my settings and I assumed it was legitimate and installed. Question: was that a genuine Samsung update? I never received an update before of any kind on this device. If not, I will do a factory reset. I will also add that since installing it, Wattpad has been having paging problems, while everything else seems okay so far.
Seems to be real, though purely a security patch, most likely taking away root possibilities. The 817V doesn't appear to be receiving the OTA update (authentication problem on update check).
