Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions VLC media player versions 0.9.0 through 1.1.2

Description The issue is related to the improper processing of ID3v2 tags by the ReadMetaFromId3v2 function in the TagLib plugin. This can be exploited by remote attackers to cause a denial of service, resulting in an application crash, via a crafted media file. The vulnerability exists due to insufficient input validation.

Recommendations For versions 0.9.0 through 1.1.2, consider disabling the ReadMetaFromId3v2 function in the TagLib plugin as a temporary workaround to minimize the risk of exploitation. Restrict the use of crafted media files to prevent potential crashes. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
