Summary
=======

Multiple vulnerabilities have discovered by g_ which potentially can be
exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system.


Description
===========

First vulnerability is caused due to an integer overflow error within the
"Open()" function in modules/demux/tta.c. This can be exploited to cause
a heap-based buffer overflow via specially crafted TTA data. Successful
exploitation may potentially allow execution of arbitrary code.

Also, a heap overflow in MMS Protocol Handling can be exploited from remote.

     vlc, all before 0.8.6i-23-10
     vlc-firefox, all before 0.8.6i-23-10
