I read it and found it really interesting...
"Two India based independent security researchers, Indrajeet Bhuyan and Saurav Kar, both 17-year old teenagers demonstrated the WhatsApp Message Handler vulnerability to one of our security analyst.
     
  In a video demonstration, they showed that how a 2000 words (2kb in size) message in special character set can crash Whatsapp messenger app."
