Detail
| Loren Maggiore of Trail of Bits discovered that the 3GP parser of VLC, a multimedia player and streamer, could dereference an arbitrary pointer due to insufficient restrictions on a writable buffer. This could allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via crafted 3GP files. For the stable distribution (jessie), this problem has been fixed in version 2.2.0~rc2-2+deb8u1. For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem will be fixed shortly. We recommend that you upgrade your vlc packages. |
