The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200812-24 (VLC: Multiple vulnerabilities)
Tobias Klein reported the following vulnerabilities:
A stack-based buffer overflow when processing CUE image files in modules/access/vcd/cdrom.c (CVE-2008-5032).
A stack-based buffer overflow when processing RealText (.rt) subtitle files in the ParseRealText() function in modules/demux/subtitle.c (CVE-2008-5036).
An integer overflow when processing RealMedia (.rm) files in the ReadRealIndex() function in real.c in the Real demuxer plugin, leading to a heap-based buffer overflow (CVE-2008-5276).
Impact :
A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted CUE image file, RealMedia file or RealText subtitle file, possibly resulting in the execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the application.
Workaround :
There is no known workaround at this time.
