Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in vlc, a multimedia player and streamer. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems :
CVE-2008-1768 Drew Yao discovered that multiple integer overflows in the MP4 demuxer, Real demuxer and Cinepak codec can lead to the execution of arbitrary code.
CVE-2008-1769 Drew Yao discovered that the Cinepak codec is prone to a memory corruption, which can be triggered by a crafted Cinepak file.
CVE-2008-1881 Luigi Auriemma discovered that it is possible to execute arbitrary code via a long subtitle in an SSA file.
CVE-2008-2147 It was discovered that vlc is prone to a search path vulnerability, which allows local users to perform privilege escalations.
CVE-2008-2430 Alin Rad Pop discovered that it is possible to execute arbitrary code when opening a WAV file containing a large fmt chunk.
CVE-2008-3794 Pinar Yanardag discovered that it is possible to execute arbitrary code when opening a crafted mmst link.
CVE-2008-4686 Tobias Klein discovered that it is possible to execute arbitrary code when opening a crafted .ty file.
CVE-2008-5032 Tobias Klein discovered that it is possible to execute arbitrary code when opening an invalid CUE image file with a crafted header.
