Description
This security bulletin contains information about 12 vulnerabilities.
1) Integer underflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-13602)
CWE-ID: CWE-191 - Integer underflow
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A/VC:N/VI:N/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attacks on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error in the "MP4_EIA608_Convert()" function in the "modules/demux/mp4/mp4.c" file. A remote attacker can trick the victim to open a specially crafted .mp4 file, trigger integer underflow and crash the affected application.
2) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-13962)
CWE-ID: CWE-125 - Out-of-bounds read

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to heap-based buffer over-read because the application does not properly validate the width and height properties in lavc_CopyPicture function in modules/codec/avcodec/video.c. A remote attacker can perform a denial of service attack.
3) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-14437)

4) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-14438)
CWE-ID: CWE-125 - Out-of-bounds read
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear
The vulnerability allows a local non-authenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code.
A heap-based buffer over-read in xiph_PackHeaders() in modules/demux/xiph.h in VideoLAN VLC media player 3.0.7.1 allows remote attackers to trigger a heap-based buffer over-read via a crafted .ogg file.
5) Division by zero (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-14498)
CWE-ID: CWE-369 - Divide By Zero
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear
The vulnerability allows a local non-authenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code.
A divide-by-zero error exists in the Control function of demux/caf.c in VideoLAN VLC media player 3.0.7.1. As a result, an FPE can be triggered via a crafted CAF file.
6) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-14533)
CWE-ID: CWE-416 - Use After Free
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear
The vulnerability allows a local non-authenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code.
The Control function of demux/asf/asf.c in VideoLAN VLC media player 3.0.7.1 has a use-after-free.
7) NULL pointer dereference (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-14534)
CWE-ID: CWE-476 - NULL Pointer Dereference
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A/VC:N/VI:N/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a NULL pointer dreference error in the SeekPercent() function in demux/asf/asf.c. A remote attacker can use a specially crfated media file to perform denial of service (DoS) attack.
8) Division by zero (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-14535)
CWE-ID: CWE-369 - Divide By Zero
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear
The vulnerability allows a local non-authenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code.
A divide-by-zero error exists in the SeekIndex function of demux/asf/asf.c in VideoLAN VLC media player 3.0.7.1. As a result, an FPE can be triggered via a crafted WMV file.
9) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-14776)
CWE-ID: CWE-125 - Out-of-bounds read
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to potentially sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary condition in DemuxInit() in demux/asf/asf.c in VideoLAN VLC media player 3.0.7.1 via a crafted .mkv file. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application, trigger out-of-bounds read error and read contents of memory on the system.
10) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-14777)
CWE-ID: CWE-416 - Use After Free
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear
