Videolan · Vlc Media Player · CVE-2016-5108
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
VLC media player versions prior to 2.2.4
**Description**
The issue is related to a buffer overflow in the DecodeAdpcmImaQT function, which can be exploited by remote attackers using a crafted QuickTime IMA file. This could lead to a denial of service or possibly allow the execution of arbitrary code. The vulnerability is due to the lack of input data sanitization.
**Recommendations**
For versions prior to 2.2.4, update to version 2.2.4 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider avoiding the use of the DecodeAdpcmImaQT function until a patch is applied. Restrict access to crafted QuickTime IMA files to minimize the risk of exploitation.
