Summary

The parse_track_node function in modules/demux/playlist/xspf.c in the XSPF playlist parser in VideoLAN VLC media player before 1.0.6 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and application crash) via an empty location element in an XML Shareable Playlist Format (XSPF) document.

    descriptionThe version of VLC media player installed on the remote host is earlier than 1.0.6. Such versions are affected by multiple vulnerabilities : - A stack-based buffer overflow when handling M3U files with a ftp:// URI handler. - Heap-based buffer overflow vulnerabilities exist in the A/52, DTS, MPEG Audio decoders. - Invalid memory access vulnerabilities exist in the AVI, ASF, Matroska (MKV) demuxers, the XSPF playlist parser, and the ZIP archive decompressor. - A heap-based buffer overflow vulnerability exists in RTMP access. If an attacker can trick a user into opening a specially crafted file with the affected application, arbitrary code could be executed subject to the user

      - A denial of service (DoS) vulnerability exists in VideoLAN VLC media player before 1.0.6 due to 
        buffer overflow. An user-assisted, remote attacker can exploit this issue, via a crafted .mp3 file that
