Kategorie:	Mageia Linux Local Security Checks
Titel:	Mageia: Security Advisory (MGASA-2015-0095)
Zusammenfassung:	The remote host is missing an update for the 'vlc' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2015-0095 advisory.
Beschreibung:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the 'vlc' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2015-0095 advisory. Vulnerability Insight: Updated vlc packages (2.1.6) are an upgrade with some fixes. Some of the problems fixed upstream were already fixed by a previous Mageia update to VLC (see the link to MGASA-2015-0053). VLC versions before 2.1.5 contain a vulnerability in the transcode module that may allow a corrupted stream to overflow buffers on the heap. With a non-malicious input, this could lead to heap corruption and a crash. However, under the right circumstances, a malicious attacker could potentially use this vulnerability to hijack program execution, and on some platforms, execute arbitrary code (CVE-2014-6440) Affected Software/OS: 'vlc' package(s) on Mageia 4. Solution: Please install the updated package(s). CVSS Score: 7.5 CVSS Vector: AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P
