Description:

From the Gentoo advisory:

* Michal Luczaj and Luigi Auriemma reported that VLC contains boundary errors when handling subtitles in the ParseMicroDvd(), ParseSSA(), and ParseVplayer() functions in the modules/demux/subtitle.c file, allowing for a stack-based buffer overflow (CVE-2007-6681).

* The web interface listening on port 8080/tcp contains a format string error in the httpd_FileCallBack() function in the network/httpd.c file (CVE-2007-6682).

* The browser plugin possibly contains an argument injection vulnerability (CVE-2007-6683).

* The RSTP module triggers a NULL pointer dereference when processing a request without a "Transport" parameter (CVE-2007-6684).

* Luigi Auriemma and Remi Denis-Courmont found a boundary error in the modules/access/rtsp/real_sdpplin.c file when processing SDP data for RTSP sessions (CVE-2008-0295) and a vulnerability in the libaccess_realrtsp plugin (CVE-2008-0296), possibly resulting in a heap-based buffer overflow.

* Felipe Manzano and Anibal Sacco (Core Security Technologies) discovered an arbitrary memory overwrite vulnerability in VLC's MPEG-4 file format parser (CVE-2008-0984).
