| Description: | From the Mageia advisory: 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.

However, under the right circumstances, a malicious attacker could potentially use this vulnerability to hijack program execution, and on some platforms, execute arbitrary code. | ||||||||||
