VLC < 3.0.8 Multiple Vulnerabilities

critical Nessus Plugin ID 128080

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Windows host contains a media player that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

The version of VLC media player installed on the remote Windows host is prior to 3.0.8. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

- An integer underflow condition exists in the modules/demux/mp4/mp4.c component of VLC Player. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, by supplying a crafted mp4 file, to cause a denial of service condition or the execution of arbitrary code (CVE-2019-13602).

- A heap-based buffer overflow condition exists in the modules/codec/avcodec/video.c component of VLC Player due to improper sanitization of the width and height values. A remote attacker can exploit this, by supplying a specially crafted video file, to cause a denial of service condition or the execution of arbitrary code (CVE-2019-13962).

- A NULL pointer de-reference flaw exists in the ASF Demuxer component of VLC Player. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, by supplying crafted input, to cause a denial of service condition when the application attempts to read or write memory with a NULL pointer (CVE-2019-14534).

Solution

Upgrade to VLC version 3.0.8 or later.
