NVD Description

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

Buffer overflow in the mp4a packetizer (modules/packetizer/mpeg4audio.c) in VideoLAN VLC Media Player before 2.0.8 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via unspecified vectors.
