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

The vulnerability is caused due to an error in the "DemuxPacket()"
function (modules/demux/asf/asf.c) when processing ASF files and can
be exploited to cause a buffer overflow via a specially crafted ASF
file.

Successful exploitation may allow execution of arbitrary code, but
requires tricking a user into opening a malicious file.

The vulnerability is reported in versions 2.05 and prior.

SOLUTION:
The vulnerability will be fixed in upcoming version 2.0.6. No
official solution is currently available.

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
