VLC Media Player ASF Movie Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

A vulnerability has been identified in VLC Media Player. A remote user can cause arbitrary code to be executed on the target user's system.

A remote user can create a specially crafted ASF movie that, when loaded by the target user, will trigger a buffer overflow and execute arbitrary code on the target system. The code will run with the privileges of the target user.

Note: Vendor patch is currently unavailable. The fix will be included in upcoming version 2.0.6.
