Debian Security Advisory DSA-3342-1 security@debian.org
https://www.debian.org/security/ Alessandro Ghedini
August 20, 2015 https://www.debian.org/security/faq
- - -------------------------------------------------------------------------
Package : vlc
CVE ID : CVE-2015-5949
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.
