DSA-2043-1 vlc -- integer overflowID: oval:org.secpod.oval:def:600103 | Date: (C)2011-01-28 (M)2022-10-10 |
Class: PATCH | Family: unix |
tixxDZ discovered a vulnerability in vlc, the multimedia player and streamer. Missing data validation in vlc"s real data transport implementation enable an integer underflow and consequently an unbounded buffer operation. A maliciously crafted stream could thus enable an attacker to execute arbitrary code. No Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifier is available for this issue. For the stable distribution , this problem has been fixed in version 0.8.6.h-4+lenny2.3. For the testing distribution , this problem was fixed in version 1.0.1-1. We recommend that you upgrade your vlc packages.
