NOTE: the vendor disputes the severity and claimed vulnerability type of this issue stating \This PoC crashes VLC indeed but does nothing more… this is not an integer overflow error but an uncaught exception and I doubt that it is exploitable. This uncaught exception makes VLC abort not execute random code on my Linux 64bits machine.\ A PoC posted by the original researcher shows signs of an attacker-controlled out-of-bounds read but the affected instruction does not involve a register that directly influences control flow.
