Description:
Two vulnerabilities have been reported in VLC Media Player, which potentially can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system.

1) An error in the CUE demuxer can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow via a specially crafted CUE image file.

2) An error in the RealText demuxer can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow via a specially crafted RealText subtitle file.

Successful exploitation of the vulnerabilities may allow execution of arbitrary code.

The vulnerabilities are reported in versions 0.5.0 through 0.9.5.
