    - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Debian Security Advisory DSA-2043-1 [email protected] http://www.debian.org/security/ Devin Carraway
    May 11, 2010 http://www.debian.org/security/faq
    - ------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Package : vlc
    Vulnerability : integer overflow
    Problem type : local (remote)
    Debian-specific: no

    tixxDZ (DZCORE labs) discovered a vulnerability in vlc, the multimedia
    player and streamer. Missing data validation in vlc's real data transport (RDT) implementation enable an integer underflow and consequently an
    unbounded buffer operation. A maliciously crafted stream could thus enable
    an attacker to execute arbitrary code.

    No Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifier is available for this issue.

    For the stable distribution (lenny), this problem has been fixed in version 0.8.6.h-4+lenny2.3.

    For the testing distribution (squeeze), this problem was fixed in version 1.0.1-1.

    We recommend that you upgrade your vlc packages.


    Upgrade instructions
    - --------------------

    wget url
    will fetch the file for you
    dpkg -i file.deb
    will install the referenced file.

    If you are using the apt-get package manager, use the line for
    sources.list as given below:

    apt-get update
    will update the internal database
    apt-get upgrade
    will install corrected packages

    You may use an automated update by adding the resources from the
    footer to the proper configuration.
