+ <background>
+ <p>
+ VLC is a cross-platform media player and streaming server.

+ <description>
+ <ul><li>Remi Denis-Courmont reported that VLC loads plugins from the
+ current working directory in an unsafe manner (CVE-2008-2147).</li>
+ <li>Alin Rad Pop (Secunia Research) reported an integer overflow error
+ in the Open() function in the file modules/demux/wav.c
+ (CVE-2008-2430).</li>
+ </ul>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>
+ A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted .wav
+ file, and a local attacker could entice a user to run VLC from a
+ directory containing specially crafted modules, possibly resulting in
+ the execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running
+ the application.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All VLC users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=media-video/vlc-0.8.6i"</code>
