Severity
Summary
Integer signedness error in the mms_ReceiveCommand function in modules/access/mms/mmstu.c in VLC Media Player 0.8.6i allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted mmst link with a negative size value, which bypasses a size check and triggers an integer overflow followed by a heap-based buffer overflow.
