TITLE:
VLC Media Player SMB Input Module Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA35558

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/35558/

DESCRIPTION:
A vulnerability has been discovered in VLC Media Player, which can be
exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system.

The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error within the
"Win32AddConnection()" function in modules/access/smb.c. This can be
exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow by e.g. tricking a
user into opening a playlist file having an overly long "smb://"
URI.

Successful exploitation may allow execution of arbitrary code.

NOTE: The vulnerability affects Windows builds only.

The vulnerability is confirmed in version 0.9.9. Other versions may
also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Fixed in the GIT repository.

Do not process untrusted files with VLC.

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
Reported by the vendor as a crash.
