The issue is that the ReadFrame function uses a variable obtained directly from the file. The bug was reported through HackerOne, as part of a bug bounty program run by the European Union. Tracked as CVE-2019-5439 and residing in the ReadFrame (demux/avi/avi.c) function, the buffer overflow could be exploited through a specially crafted. The vulnerability has been addressed with the release of VLC 3.0.7, which also fixes a high-severity heap buffer overflow, along with various other vulnerabilities. This could then be leveraged to execute arbitrary code on the vulnerable system, the researcher says. The bug resides in the zlib_decompress_extra function of the VLC media player and could be triggered during the parsing of a malformed MKV file type within the Matroska demuxer.ĭiscovered by Symeon Paraschoudis from Pen Test Partners, the issue allows a remote attacker to create a specially crafted file to trigger a double free in zlib_decompress_extra() (demux/mkv/utils.cpp). Tracked as CVE-2019-12874, the security flaw features a CVSS v3 score of 9.8. The application can parse and render a large number of media file formats. VLC is a popular open-source media player that is also portable and works across platforms, and which also provides media streaming capabilities. Failing to comply will compel the company to initiate legal proceedings against the government.VideoLAN has addressed a critical double-free vulnerability in the VLC media player that could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code on target systems. VideoLAN has now asked for a copy of the reasoned blocking order along with a chance to defend its case through a virtual hearing.
This is in contradiction to Rule 8 of the 2009 IT Blocking Rules and a Supreme Court ruling that requires any government officer responsible for issuing a blocking order must communicate the reasons for such a ban and at the same time also provide a copy of a reasoned blocking order to the person concerned prior to the hearing.
We have neither received any notice of hearing nor a copy of the reasoned blocking order,” reads the legal notice. “Almost six months have passed since the first reporting of the unavailability of, and the reasons for blocking the URL have not been communicated to us. He further calls this an irony as the government itself endorses VLC as part of its Digital India initiative and expressed intentions to use the software for government apps. “Your requested URL has been blocked as per directions received from the Department of Telecommunications, Government of India,” read the URL when accessed on August 30, 2022.
