#2015-009 VLC arbitrary pointer dereference

Description:

The VLC media player is an open source media player and streaming media
server.

The stable VLC version suffers from an arbitrary pointer dereference
vulnerability.

The vulnerability affects the 3GP file format parser, insufficient
restrictions on a writable buffer can be exploited to execute arbitrary code
via the heap memory. A specific 3GP file can be crafted to trigger the
vulnerability.

So, is there a reproducer for this issue that you can share?

Thanks
