<h1>Security Advisory 1901</h1>
<pre>
Summary : Read buffer overflow &amp; use-after-free
Date : June 2019
Affected versions : VLC media player 3.0.6 and earlier
ID : VideoLAN-SA-1901
CVE reference : CVE-2019-5439, CVE-2019-12874
</pre>
<h2>Details</h2>
<p>A remote user can create some specially crafted avi or mkv files that, when loaded by the target user, will trigger a
heap buffer overflow (read) in ReadFrame (demux/avi/avi.c), or a
heap use after free in zlib_decompress_extra() (demux/mkv/utils.cpp) respectively</p>
<h2>Impact</h2>
<p>If successful, a malicious third party could trigger either a crash of VLC or an arbitratry code execution with the privileges of the target user.</p>
<h2>Threat mitigation</h2>
<p>Exploitation of those issues requires the user to explicitly open a specially crafted file or stream.</p>
<p>ASLR and DEP help reduce exposure, but may be bypassed.</p>
<h2>Workarounds</h2>
<p>The user should refrain from opening files from untrusted third parties
or accessing untrusted remote sites (or disable the VLC browser plugins),
until the patch is applied.
</p>
<h2>Solution</h2>
<p>VLC media player <b>3.0.7</b> addresses the issue.
