Description:   Opened: 2008-02-26 22:47 0000 
CVE-2008-0984 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2008-0984):
  The MP4 demuxer (mp4.c) for VLC media player 0.8.6d and earlier allows remote
  attackers to overwrite arbitrary memory and execute arbitrary code via a
  malformed MP4 file.

Patch is here:
http://www.videolan.org/patches/vlc-0.8.6-CORE-2008-0130.patch

And this should be fixed in the "e" release, whenever that goes public. So I'd
go for patching our 0.8.6d-r1. Media-video, what do you think?

Please arches do:

media-video/vlc-0.8.6e 
target keywords are "alpha amd64 ppc ~ppc64 sparc x86 ~x86-fbsd"

------- Comment #7 From Christian Faulhammer 2008-02-29 08:59:28 0000 ------- 
x86 stable

------- Comment #8 From Ferris McCormick 2008-02-29 15:12:52 0000 ------- 
Initial test on sparc results in a BadAlloc error from X followed by a
SegFault.  I'll investigate further on another system, but for now, I'm holding
off on sparc.

This problem is specific to one out-of-date system.  On my reference system
(whick is completely current) it does not occur.  Hence,

Stable for sparc.
