DESCRIPTION:
A vulnerability has been reported in VLC Media Player, which
potentially can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a
user's system.

The vulnerability is caused due to an integer overflow error within
"MP4_ReadBox_rdrf()" in modules/demux/mp4/libmp4.c and can be
exploited to cause a heap-based buffer overflow via e.g. a MP4 file
with a specially crafted RDRF atom.

Successful exploitation may allow execution of arbitrary code.

The vulnerability is reported in version 0.8.6e. Other versions may
also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Fixed in the GIT repository.
