Class: VULNERABILITY | Family: windows |
The host is installed with VideoLAN VLC Media Player before 0.8.6h and is prone to a buffer overflow vulnerability. The flaw is present in the application, which does not properly handle a zero value for the length of Server Names, which leads to a buffer overflow. Successful exploitation allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash).
