NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream vlc package and not the vlc package as distributed by Ubuntu.

The ASF Demuxer (modules/demux/asf/asf.c) in VideoLAN VLC media player 2.0.5 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted ASF movie that triggers an out-of-bounds read.
