NVD Description

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

Heap-based buffer overflow in the Ogg_DecodePacket function in the OGG demuxer (modules/demux/ogg.c) in VideoLAN VLC media player before 2.0.2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted OGG file.
