The S4, S5 and S6 are supposed to be affected, but being hacked is supposedly not easy to do, as you have to intercept the wifi at the time the keyboard does an update though an insecure network.
No mention of tablets they should have the same vulnerability.

I guess the quick fix would be to tell all the affected users to disable auto updates to Samsung keyboard. No updates, no hijacking.
