<ul><li>Remi Denis-Courmont reported that VLC loads plugins from the |
45 |
current working directory in an unsafe manner (CVE-2008-2147).</li> |
46 |
<li>Alin Rad Pop (Secunia Research) reported an integer overflow error |
47 |
in the Open() function in the file modules/demux/wav.c |

(CVE-2008-2430).</li> |

<impact type="normal"> |
52 |
<p> |
53 |
A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted .wav |
54 |
file, and a local attacker could entice a user to run VLC from a |
55 |
directory containing specially crafted modules, possibly resulting in |
56 |
the execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running |
57 |
the application. |
58 |

<workaround> |

There is no known workaround at this time. |

<resolution> |

<p> |
67 |
All VLC users should upgrade to the latest version: |
