<ul><li>Remi Denis-Courmont reported that VLC loads plugins from the
|
|
current working directory in an unsafe manner (CVE-2008-2147).</li>
|
|
<li>Alin Rad Pop (Secunia Research) reported an integer overflow error
|
|
in the Open() function in the file modules/demux/wav.c
|
|
(CVE-2008-2430).</li>

<impact type="normal">
|
|
<p>
|
|
A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted .wav
|
|
file, and a local attacker could entice a user to run VLC from a
|
|
directory containing specially crafted modules, possibly resulting in
|
|
the execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running
|
|
the application.
|
|
</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 ">=media-video/vlc-0.8.6i"</code>
