Discussion
VLC Media Player 'swf' File Stack Buffer Overflow Vulnerability
VLC media player is prone to a stack-based buffer-overflow vulnerability because the application fails to perform adequate boundary checks on user-supplied input.
Attackers may leverage this issue to execute arbitrary code in the context of the application. Failed attacks will cause denial-of-service conditions.
VLC media player 2.0.4 is vulnerable; other versions may also be affected.
