Vulnerability from gsd

Details
** DISPUTED ** plugins/demux/libmkv_plugin.dll in VideoLAN VLC Media Player 2.0.7, and possibly other versions, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted MKV file, possibly involving an integer overflow and out-of-bounds read or heap-based buffer overflow, or an uncaught exception. NOTE: the vendor disputes the severity and claimed vulnerability type of this issue, stating "This PoC crashes VLC, indeed, but does nothing more... this is not an integer overflow error, but an uncaught exception and I doubt that it is exploitable. This uncaught exception makes VLC abort, not execute random code, on my Linux 64bits machine." A PoC posted by the original researcher shows signs of an attacker-controlled out-of-bounds read, but the affected instruction does not involve a register that directly influences control flow.

NOTA: el vendedor se afirm\u00f3 que, \"este PoC bloquea VLC, en efecto, pero no hace nada m\u00e1s ... esto no es un error de desbordamiento de entero, sino una excepci\u00f3n no capturada y dudo que sea explotable. Esta excepci\u00f3n no capturada hace que VLC se interrumpa, pero no ejecuta c\u00f3digo arbitrario, en mi m\u00e1quina Linux 64bits \". Un prueba de concepto publicado por el investigador original muestra signos de una lectura fuera de los l\u00edmites controlada, aunque la instrucci\u00f3n afectada no implica un registro que influya directamente en el flujo de control."
