VLC Media Player Multiple Media File Formats Buffer Overflow Vulnerability
VLC media player is prone to a buffer-overflow vulnerability because it fails to perform adequate boundary checks on user-supplied input.
Attackers can leverage this issue to execute arbitrary code in the context of the application. Failed attacks will cause denial-of-service conditions.
