Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions VideoLAN VLC media player version 3.0.7.1

Description A divide-by-zero error exists in the SeekIndex() function, which can be triggered via a crafted WMV file, potentially allowing a remote attacker to affect data integrity, gain unauthorized access to protected information, and cause a denial of service.
