VideoLAN Releases VLC Media Player Security Advisories

Original release date: July 14, 2011 at 8:20 am
Last revised: July 14, 2011 at 8:20 am


VideoLAN has released Security Advisory 1105 and Security Advisory
1106 for VLC Media Player 1.1.10 and older to address two
vulnerabilities. These vulnerabilities may allow an attacker to
execute arbitrary code.

US-CERT encourages users and administrators to do the following to
help mitigate the risks:
  * Do not open untrusted files or files of unknown origins.
  * Update to VLC Media Player 1.1.11 when it becomes available.
  * Review Security Advisory 1105 and Security Advisory 1106.
