Descriptions

Heap out-of-bound read in ParseJSS in VideoLAN VLC due to missing check of string length allows attackers to read heap uninitialized data via a crafted subtitles file.

Una lectura fuera del límite de la pila en ParseJSS en VideoLAN VLC debido a la falta de comprobación de longitud de la cadena permite a los atacantes leer datos no inicializados de la pila por medio de un archivo de subtítulos creado.

Several vulnerabilities have been found in VLC, the VideoLAN project's media player. Processing malformed subtitles or movie files could lead to denial of service and potentially the execution of arbitrary code.
