This security bulletin contains information about 4 vulnerabilities.

1) Buffer overflow

EUVDB-ID: #VU64521

Risk: Medium

CVSSv4.0: 5.2 [CVSS:4.0/AV:A/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green]

CVE-ID: N/A

CWE-ID: CWE-119 - Memory corruption

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error in the updater system. A remote attacker with ability to perform MitM attack can trigger memory corruption and execute arbitrary code on the target system.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.

Mitigation

Update vlc package to one of the following versions: 3.0.17.4-0+deb10u1, 3.0.17.4-0+deb11u1.
