Videolan · Vlc Media Player · CVE-2014-9597
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
VLC media player version 2.1.5
**Description**
The issue allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service, resulting in a DEP violation and application crash, via a crafted FLV file. This is due to a problem in the `picture pool Delete` function.
**Recommendations**
