VLC: Buffer overflow

VLC: Buffer overflow A buffer overflow in VLC might allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code. vlc 2017-01-17 2017-01-17 584510 remote 2.2.4 2.2.4

VLC is a cross-platform media player and streaming server.

A buffer overflow was discovered in the DecodeAdpcmImaQT function in modules/codec/adpcm.c in the VideoLAN VLC media player.

Remote attackers, by enticing a user to execute a specially crafted QuickTime IMA file, could cause a Denial of Service condition or possibly execute arbitrary code.

There is no known workaround at this time.

All VLC users should upgrade to the latest version:


      # emerge --sync
      # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=media-video/vlc-2.2.4"
