Debian Security Advisory DSA-2257-1 [email protected]
http://www.debian.org/security/ Nico Golde
June 10, 2011 http://www.debian.org/security/faq

Package : vlc
Vulnerability : heap-based buffer overflow
Problem type : local
Debian-specific: no
CVE ID : CVE-2011-2194

Rocco Calvi discovered that the XSPF playlist parser of vlc, a multimedia
player and streamer, is prone to an integer overflow resulting in a
heap-based buffer overflow. This might allow an attacker to execute
arbitrary code by tricking a victim into opening a specially crafted
file.

The oldstable distribution (lenny) is not affected by this problem.

For the stable distribution (squeeze), this problem has been fixed in
version 1.1.3-1squeeze6.

For the testing (wheezy) and unstable (sid) distributions, this
problem will be fixed soon.

We recommend that you upgrade your vlc packages.
