    Vulnerability : missing input sanitising
    Problem type : remote
    Debian-specific: no
    CVE ID : CVE-2010-3275 CVE-2010-3276

    Ricardo Narvaja discovered that missing input sanitising in VLC, a
    multimedia player and streamer, could lead to the execution of arbitrary
    code if a user is tricked into opening a malformed media file.

    This update also provides updated packages for oldstable (lenny) for vulnerabilities, which have already been addressed in Debian stable
    (squeeze), either during the freeze or in DSA-2159.
    (CVE-2010-0522, CVE-2010-1441, CVE-2010-1442, CVE-2011-0531)

    For the oldstable distribution (lenny), this problem has been fixed in
    version 0.8.6.h-4+lenny3.

    For the stable distribution (squeeze), this problem has been fixed in
    version 1.1.3-1squeeze4.

    For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in
    version 1.1.8-1.

    We recommend that you upgrade your vlc packages.
