Hi,
vlc is vulnerable to a local privilege escalation[0]:
| At startup, VLC recursively scans the modules/ and plugins/ subdirectories 
from
| the current working directory, and tries to execute the vlc_entry__0_8_6 (or
| another in other VLC versions) symbol from any file matching the
| lib*_plugin.so pattern.

An attacker could use this to execute code by providing a crafted library file.

Patch: 
http://git.videolan.org/?p=vlc.git;a=commit;h=c7cef4fdd8dd72ce0a45be3cda8ba98df5e83181

This issue doesn't have a CVE id yet, I already request one and will update
this bug report if I got it.

Make sure to use it on your changelog then if you close the bug.
