CVSS v3.1 |
| The StripTags function in (1) the USF decoder (modules/codec/subtitles/subsdec.c) and (2) the Text decoder (modules/codec/subtitles/subsusf.c) in VideoLAN VLC Media Player 1.1 before 1.1.6-rc allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a subtitle with an opening "<" without a closing ">" in an MKV file, which triggers heap memory corruption, as demonstrated using refined-australia-blu720p-sample.mkv. |
| Multiple integer overflows in real.c in the Real demuxer plugin in VideoLAN VLC Media Player before 1.1.6 allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a zero i_subpackets value in a Real Media file, leading to a heap-based buffer overflow. |
| Multiple buffer overflows in VideoLAN VLC media player 2.0.4 and earlier allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and execute arbitrary code via vectors related to the (1) freetype renderer and (2) HTML subtitle parser. |
| libdirectx_plugin.dll in VideoLAN VLC Media Player before 1.1.8 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted width in an NSV file. |
| Heap-based buffer overflow in the MP4_ReadBox_skcr function in libmp4.c in the MP4 demultiplexer in VideoLAN VLC media player 1.x before 1.1.9 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted MP4 file. |
| Heap-based buffer overflow in the AVI_ChunkRead_strf function in libavi.c in the AVI demuxer in VideoLAN VLC media player before 1.1.11 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted AVI media file. |
| plugins/demux/libmkv_plugin.dll in VideoLAN VLC Media Player 2.0.7, and possibly other versions, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted MKV file, possibly involving an integer overflow and out-of-bounds read or heap-based buffer overflow, or an uncaught exception. NOTE: the vendor disputes the severity and claimed vulnerability type of this issue, stating "This PoC crashes VLC, indeed, but does nothing more... this is not an integer overflow error, but an uncaught exception and I doubt that it is exploitable. This uncaught exception makes VLC abort, not execute random code, on my Linux 64bits machine." A PoC posted by the original researcher shows signs of an attacker-controlled out-of-bounds read, but the affected instruction does not involve a register that directly influences control flow |
| libpng_plugin in VideoLAN VLC media player 2.0.3 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted PNG file. |
| The SHAddToRecentDocs function in VideoLAN VLC media player 2.0.4 and earlier might allow user-assisted attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a crafted file name that triggers an incorrect string-length calculation when the file is added to VLC. NOTE: it is not clear whether this issue crosses privilege boundaries or whether it can be exploited without user interaction. |
| VideoLAN VLC Media Player 2.0.8 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a long string in a URL in a m3u file. |
| libdirectx_plugin.dll in VideoLAN VLC Media Player before 1.1.8 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted width in an AMV file, related to a "dangling pointer vulnerability." |
| Heap-based buffer overflow in the Ogg_DecodePacket function in the OGG demuxer (modules/demux/ogg.c) in VideoLAN VLC media player before 2.0.2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted OGG file. |
| VLC media player 1.1.11 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a long string in an amr file. |
| The ASF Demuxer (modules/demux/asf/asf.c) in VideoLAN VLC media player 2.0.5 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted ASF movie that triggers an out-of-bounds read. |
| Stack-based buffer overflow in VideoLAN VLC Media Player 0.8.6 allows user-assisted remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via an ogg file with a crafted Advanced SubStation Alpha Subtitle (.ass) file, probably involving the Dialogue field. |
| A binary hijacking vulnerability exists within the VideoLAN VLC media player before 3.0.19 on Windows. The uninstaller attempts to execute code with elevated privileges out of a standard user writable location. Standard users may use this to gain arbitrary code execution as SYSTEM. |
| A NULL-pointer dereference in "Open" in avi.c of VideoLAN VLC Media Player 3.0.11 can a denial of service (DOS) in the application. |
| A buffer overflow vulnerability in the vlc_input_attachment_New component of VideoLAN VLC Media Player 3.0.11 allows attackers to cause an out-of-bounds read via a crafted .avi file. |
| A buffer overflow vulnerability in the AVI_ExtractSubtitle component of VideoLAN VLC Media Player 3.0.11 allows attackers to cause an out-of-bounds read via a crafted .avi file. |
| A buffer overflow vulnerability in the __Parse_indx component of VideoLAN VLC Media Player 3.0.11 allows attackers to cause an out-of-bounds read via a crafted .avi file. |
