VideoLAN VLC Multiple Remote Code Execution Vulnerabilities

VideoLAN VLC media player is prone to multiple remote code-execution vulnerabilities, including multiple buffer-overflow issues and a format-string issue.

Exploiting these issues allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary machine code in the context of the affected application.

VLC 0.8.6d is vulnerable to these issues; other versions may also be affected.
