critical Nessus Plugin ID 186513

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing one or more security-related updates.

Description

The remote Debian 10 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the dla-3679 advisory.

 - Videolan VLC prior to version 3.0.20 contains an incorrect offset read that leads to a Heap-Based Buffer Overflow in function GetPacket() and results in a memory corruption. (CVE-2023-47359)

 - Videolan VLC prior to version 3.0.20 contains an Integer underflow that leads to an incorrect packet length. (CVE-2023-47360)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade the vlc packages.

For Debian 10 buster, these problems have been fixed in version 3.0.20-0+deb10u1.
