Description:
Some vulnerabilities have been reported in VLC Media Player, which can be exploited by malicious people to potentially compromise a user's system.
1) A boundary error exists within the "ASF_ObjectDumpDebug()" function in modules/demux/asf/libasf.c. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow via a specially crafted ASF file.
2) A boundary error exists within the "AVI_ChunkDumpDebug_level()" function in modules/demux/avi/libavi.c. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow via a specially crafted AVI file.
3) A boundary error exists within the "__MP4_BoxDumpStructure()" function in modules/demux/mp4/libmp4.c. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow via a specially crafted MP4 file.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerabilities may allow execution of arbitrary code.
Vulnerability #2 is confirmed in version 1.0.1. Other versions may also be affected.
