Description GLSAMaker/CVETool Bot gentoo-dev 2012-05-02 19:27:49 UTC 
CVE-2012-2396 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2012-2396):
  VideoLAN VLC media player 2.0.1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of
  service (divide-by-zero error and application crash) via a crafted MP4 file.
Comment 1 Yury German Gentoo Infrastructure gentoo-dev 2014-06-18 01:00:25 UTC 
Please confirm that this is fixed in subsequent versions of media-video/vlc. There is nothing in change log about this, and no clear information as to what version this was fixed in. Other distress have this in version 2.0.2.
Comment 2 Kristian Fiskerstrand (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2014-06-21 22:32:15 UTC 
If I'm not mistaken this issue was fixed in taglib 1.7.2 c.f. http://mail.kde.org/pipermail/taglib-devel/2012-April/002244.html . Since this is listed for VLC, does it use any code form this library inline, or does it solely rely on it as a shared library?
Comment 3 Yury German Gentoo Infrastructure gentoo-dev 2014-11-04 01:12:49 UTC 
Fixed in 2.0.2 as per: http://www.videolan.org/developers/vlc/NEWS

2.0.2 no longer in tree, setting to GLSA so that GLSA can be released.
