VLC media player before 3.0.24 contains a path traversal vulnerability in the skins2 ThemeLoader that fails to validate member names in .vlt skin archives. Attackers can craft malicious skin files with path traversal sequences to write arbitrary files with VLC user privileges, enabling code execution through Lua script injection.
Certain VLC media player builds in versions 3.0.0 through 3.0.23 contain a memory-safety vulnerability reachable when processing media from an attacker-controlled network source. Exploitation requires user interaction and may disclose a limited, layout-dependent amount of VLC process memory. Exposure depends on build configuration.
VLC media player versions 3.0.0 through 3.0.23 contain a memory-safety vulnerability reachable when processing crafted media. Exploitation requires user interaction and may result in application termination or code execution with the privileges of the VLC process.
mmstu.c in VideoLAN VLC media player before 3.0.22 allows an out-of-bounds read and denial of service via a crafted 0x01 response from an MMS server.

A vulnerability in EbmlTypeDispatcher::send in VideoLAN VLC media player 3.0.11 allows attackers to trigger a heap-based buffer overflow via a crafted .mkv file.
A heap-based buffer overflow in the hxxxAnnexBtoxVC function in modules/packetizer/hxxxnal.c in VideoLAN VLC media player before 3.0.11 for macOS/iOS allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or execute arbitrary code via a crafted H.264 Annex-B video (.avi for example) file.
An off-by-one error in the DecodeBlock function in codec/sdlimage.c in VideoLAN VLC media player before 3.0.9 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption) via a crafted image file. NOTE: this may be related to the SDLImage product.
The GetUpdateFile function in misc/update.c in the Updater in VideoLAN VLC media player before 2.1.6 performs an incorrect cast operation from a 64-bit integer to a 32-bit integer, which allows remote attackers to conduct buffer overflow attacks and execute arbitrary code via a crafted update status file, aka an "integer truncation" vulnerability.
Integer underflow in the MP4ReadBoxString function in modules/demux/mp4/libmp4.c in VideoLAN VLC media player before 2.1.6 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact via a box size less than 7.
The MP4ReadBoxString function in modules/demux/mp4/libmp4.c in VideoLAN VLC media player before 2.1.6 performs an incorrect cast operation from a 64-bit integer to a 32-bit integer, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact via a large box size.
The MP4ReadBoxString function in modules/demux/mp4/libmp4.c in VideoLAN VLC media player before 2.1.6 allows remote attackers to trigger an unintended zero-size malloc and conduct buffer overflow attacks, and consequently execute arbitrary code, via a box size of 7.
Integer overflow in the Encode function in modules/codec/schroedinger.c in VideoLAN VLC media player before 2.1.6 and 2.2.x before 2.2.1 allows remote attackers to conduct buffer overflow attacks and execute arbitrary code via a crafted length value.
The rtppacketizexiphconfig function in modules/streamout/rtpfmt.c in VideoLAN VLC media player before 2.1.6 uses a stack-allocation approach with a size determined by arbitrary input data, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted length value.
A vulnerability in mkv::eventthreadt in VideoLAN VLC media player 3.0.7.1 allows remote attackers to trigger a heap-based buffer overflow via a crafted .mkv file.

In VideoLAN VLC media player 3.0.7.1, there is a NULL pointer dereference at the function SeekPercent of demux/asf/asf.c that will lead to a denial of service attack.
A divide-by-zero error exists in the SeekIndex function of demux/asf/asf.c in VideoLAN VLC media player 3.0.7.1. As a result, an FPE can be triggered via a crafted WMV file.
A divide-by-zero error exists in the Control function of demux/caf.c in VideoLAN VLC media player 3.0.7.1. As a result, an FPE can be triggered via a crafted CAF file.
A heap-based buffer over-read in xiphPackHeaders() in modules/demux/xiph.h in VideoLAN VLC media player 3.0.7.1 allows remote attackers to trigger a heap-based buffer over-read via a crafted .ogg file.
