Descriptions

The SHAddToRecentDocs function in VideoLAN VLC media player 2.0.4 and earlier might allow user-assisted attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a crafted file name that triggers an incorrect string-length calculation when the file is added to VLC. NOTE: it is not clear whether this issue crosses privilege boundaries or whether it can be exploited without user interaction.

La función SHAddToRecentDocs en VideoLAN VLC media player v2.0.4 y versiones anteriores podría permitir a los atacantes asistidos por el usuario provocar una denegación de servicio (caída) a través de un nombre de archivo especialmente diseñado que genera una calculo de longitud de cadena incorrecto cuando se agrega el archivo a VLC. NOTA: no está claro si este problema puede saltarse los límites de privilegio o si puede ser explotado sin la interacción del usuario.
