HTTP: VLC Media Player ABC File Instruction Field Parsing Heap Overflow
This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability in the VLC Media Player. A successful attack can lead to a buffer overflow and arbitrary remote code execution within the context of the user.
Extended Description
Integer overflow in the abc_set_parts function in load_abc.cpp in libmodplug 0.8.8.4 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted P header in an ABC file, which triggers a heap-based buffer overflow.
