**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions** VLC version 0.8.6e **Description** The issue is related to a stack-based buffer overflow in the `ParseSSA` function, located in `modules/demux/subtitle.c`. This allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a long subtitle in an SSA file. The problem is due to an incomplete fix for a previous issue. **Recommendations** For VLC version 0.8.6e, consider disabling the `ParseSSA` function as a temporary workaround until a patch is available. Restrict access to SSA files to minimize the risk of exploitation.
