VLC Media Player libmodplug Buffer Overflow Vulnerabilities

Multiple vulnerabilities have been identified in VLC Media Player, which could be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system.  The vulnerabilities are caused due to the application using a vulnerable version of the libmodplug library.  This issues are caused by the boundary errors within the "abc_new_macro()" and "abc_new_umacro()" functions in src/load_abc.cpp, which can be exploited to cause stack-based buffer overflows by tricking a user into opening specially crafted ABC files.

Note: This may only affect the precompiled versions and it is not aware of any vendor-supplied patch available
