    crafted file name that triggers an incorrect string-length calculation when the file is added to VLC. 
    (CVE-2012-5855).

  - Multiple buffer overflows in VideoLAN VLC media player before 2.0.5. Allow remote attackers to cause a 
    denial of service (crash) and execute arbitrary code via vectors related to the (1) freetype renderer 
    and (2) HTML subtitle parser. (CVE-2013-1868).

Impact :

    A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted media

      the privileges of the process or a Denial of Service condition.
  
Workaround :
