Discussion
VLC Media Player Web Interface 'input' Parameter Remote Buffer Overflow Vulnerability
VLC Media Player is prone to a remote stack-based buffer-overflow vulnerability because it fails to perform adequate boundary checks on user-supplied data.
Attackers could exploit this issue to execute arbitrary code in the context of the affected application. Failed exploit attempts will likely cause denial-of-service conditions.
VLC Media Player 0.9.8a is vulnerable; other versions may also be affected.
