identifies the following problems :

  - CVE-2008-1768
    Drew Yao discovered that multiple integer overflows in
    the MP4 demuxer, Real demuxer and Cinepak codec can lead
    to the execution of arbitrary code.

  - CVE-2008-1769
    Drew Yao discovered that the Cinepak codec is prone to a
    memory corruption, which can be triggered by a crafted
    Cinepak file.

  - CVE-2008-1881
    Luigi Auriemma discovered that it is possible to execute
    arbitrary code via a long subtitle in an SSA file.

  - CVE-2008-2147
    It was discovered that vlc is prone to a search path
    vulnerability, which allows local users to perform
    privilege escalations.

  - CVE-2008-2430
    Alin Rad Pop discovered that it is possible to execute
    arbitrary code when opening a WAV file containing a
    large fmt chunk.

  - CVE-2008-3794
    Pinar Yanardag discovered that it is possible to
    execute arbitrary code when opening a crafted mmst link.

  - CVE-2008-4686
    Tobias Klein discovered that it is possible to execute
    arbitrary code when opening a crafted .ty file.

  - CVE-2008-5032
    Tobias Klein discovered that it is possible to execute
    arbitrary code when opening an invalid CUE image file

    current working directory in an unsafe manner (CVE-2008-2147).
    Alin Rad Pop (Secunia Research) reported an integer overflow error
    in the Open() function in the file modules/demux/wav.c
    (CVE-2008-2430).
  
Impact :

    A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted .wav
    file, and a local attacker could entice a user to run VLC from a
    directory containing specially crafted modules, possibly resulting in
    the execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running
    the application.
  
Workaround :
