TITLE:
VLC Media Player Bookmark Handling Memory Corruption

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA38853

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/38853/

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

The vulnerability is caused due to a race condition error when
creating bookmarks and can be exploited to corrupt memory by tricking
a user into creating a bookmark while playing a specially crafted
file.

Successful exploitation may allow execution of arbitrary code.

The vulnerability is confirmed in version 1.0.5. Other versions may
also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Do not play untrusted files and/or do not use the bookmark feature.
