An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2007-0017 exists.\n\nAffected product: Videolan Vlc Media Player. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2007-0017/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2007-0017/index.md)","id":"CVE-2007-0017","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2007-0017/index.md","name":"CVE-2007-0017","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2007-0017","DSA-1252-1","GHSA-xh7p-83h3-2grw"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"VLC media player","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Format string vulnerabilities in VLC media player allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via malicious M3U files.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"other"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"vlc_media_player","vendor":"videolan"}],"cvss":{"score":6.8,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-134","name":"Use of Externally-Controlled Format String"}],"description":"Multiple format string vulnerabilities in (1) the cdio_log_handler function in modules/access/cdda/access.c in the CDDA (libcdda_plugin) plugin, and the (2) cdio_log_handler and (3) vcd_log_handler functions in modules/access/vcdx/access.c in the VCDX (libvcdx_plugin) plugin, in VideoLAN VLC 0.7.0 through 0.8.6 allow user-assisted remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via format string specifiers in an invalid URI, as demonstrated by a udp://-- URI in an M3U file.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":2,"first_seen":"2007-01-02","github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2007-01-02","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"3069","stars":null,"title":"VideoLAN VLC Media Player 0.8.6 (PPC) - 'udp://' Format String (PoC)"},{"date":"2007-01-02","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"3070","stars":null,"title":"VideoLAN VLC Media Player 0.8.6 (x86) - 'udp://' Format String"}],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Other in n/a","id":"CVE-2007-0017","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"videolan:vlc_media_player","products":["videolan:vlc_media_player"],"type":"other","year":"2007"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":20,"next":{"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2007-0018"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2007-0016"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2007-01-03","related":[{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-0296","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2008-01-16"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2023-47359","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-11-07"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Use after free in n/a","id":"CVE-2019-12874","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-06-18"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-10699","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-06-30"},{"cvss_score":9.3,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2013-1868","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2013-07-10"},{"cvss_score":9.3,"headline":"Use after free in n/a","id":"CVE-2012-0023","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2012-10-30"},{"cvss_score":9.3,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2012-1775","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2012-03-19"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"GPL-2.0-or-later","name":"Exploit-DB"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-07","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Format string vulnerabilities in VLC media player allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via malicious M3U files.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2007-0017/"}
