+ VLC is a cross-platform media player and streaming server. +

+
+ +

+ Multiple vulnerabilities were found in VLC: +

+
    +
  • + Luigi Auriemma discovered that the stack-based buffer overflow when + reading subtitles, which has been reported as CVE-2007-6681 in GLSA + 200803-13, was not properly fixed (CVE-2008-1881). +
  • +
  • + Alin Rad Pop of Secunia reported an array indexing vulnerability in the + sdpplin_parse() function when processing streams from RTSP servers in + Xine code, which is also used in VLC (CVE-2008-0073). +
  • +
  • + Drew Yao and Nico Golde reported an integer overflow in the + MP4_ReadBox_rdrf() function in the file libmp4.c leading to a + heap-based buffer overflow when reading MP4 files (CVE-2008-1489). +
  • +
  • Drew Yao also reported integer overflows in the MP4 demuxer, + the Real demuxer and in the Cinepak codec, which might lead to buffer + overflows (CVE-2008-1768).
  • +
  • Drew Yao finally discovered and a + boundary error in Cinepak, which might lead to memory corruption + (CVE-2008-1769).
  • +
+
+ +

+ A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted media + file or stream, possibly resulting in the remote execution of arbitrary + code. +

+
+ +

+ There is no known workaround at this time. +

+
+ +

+ All VLC users should upgrade to the latest version: +

+ + # emerge --sync + # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=media-video/vlc-0.8.6f" +
