+ <background>
+ <p>
+ VLC is a cross-platform media player and streaming server.
+ </p>
+ </background>
+ <description>
+ <p>
+ Multiple vulnerabilities were found in VLC:
+ </p>
+ <ul>
+ <li>
+ Luigi Auriemma discovered that the stack-based buffer overflow when
+ reading subtitles, which has been reported as CVE-2007-6681 in GLSA
+ 200803-13, was not properly fixed (CVE-2008-1881).
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Alin Rad Pop of Secunia reported an array indexing vulnerability in the
+ sdpplin_parse() function when processing streams from RTSP servers in
+ Xine code, which is also used in VLC (CVE-2008-0073).
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Drew Yao and Nico Golde reported an integer overflow in the
+ MP4_ReadBox_rdrf() function in the file libmp4.c leading to a
+ heap-based buffer overflow when reading MP4 files (CVE-2008-1489).
+ </li>
+ <li>Drew Yao also reported integer overflows in the MP4 demuxer,
+ the Real demuxer and in the Cinepak codec, which might lead to buffer
+ overflows (CVE-2008-1768).</li>
+ <li>Drew Yao finally discovered and a
+ boundary error in Cinepak, which might lead to memory corruption
+ (CVE-2008-1769).</li>
+ </ul>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>
+ A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted media
+ file or stream, possibly resulting in the remote execution of arbitrary
+ code.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All VLC users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=media-video/vlc-0.8.6f&quot;</code>
