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

+
+ +

+ Multiple vulnerabilities were found in VLC: +

+
    +
  • Michal Luczaj + and Luigi Auriemma reported that VLC contains boundary errors when + handling subtitles in the ParseMicroDvd(), ParseSSA(), and + ParseVplayer() functions in the modules/demux/subtitle.c file, allowing + for a stack-based buffer overflow (CVE-2007-6681).
  • +
  • The web + interface listening on port 8080/tcp contains a format string error in + the httpd_FileCallBack() function in the network/httpd.c file + (CVE-2007-6682).
  • +
  • The browser plugin possibly contains an + argument injection vulnerability (CVE-2007-6683).
  • +
  • The RSTP + module triggers a NULL pointer dereference when processing a request + without a "Transport" parameter (CVE-2007-6684).
  • +
  • Luigi + Auriemma and Remi Denis-Courmont found a boundary error in the + modules/access/rtsp/real_sdpplin.c file when processing SDP data for + RTSP sessions (CVE-2008-0295) and a vulnerability in the + libaccess_realrtsp plugin (CVE-2008-0296), possibly resulting in a + heap-based buffer overflow.
  • +
  • Felipe Manzano and Anibal Sacco + (Core Security Technologies) discovered an arbitrary memory overwrite + vulnerability in VLC's MPEG-4 file format parser (CVE-2008-0984).
  • +
+
+ +

+ A remote attacker could send a long subtitle in a file that a user is + enticed to open, a specially crafted MP4 input file, long SDP data, or + a specially crafted HTTP request with a "Connection" header value + containing format specifiers, possibly resulting in the remote + execution of arbitrary code. Also, a Denial of Service could be caused + and arbitrary files could be overwritten via the "demuxdump-file" + option in a filename in a playlist or via an EXTVLCOPT statement in an + MP3 file. +

+
+ +

+ 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-0.8.6e" +
