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-2007-0256 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-2007-0256/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2007-0256/index.md)","id":"CVE-2007-0256","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2007-0256/index.md","name":"CVE-2007-0256","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2007-0256","GHSA-f675-j876-jc82"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"VLC media player","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can crash the VLC media player by tricking users into opening a maliciously crafted WMV file.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"vlc_media_player","vendor":"videolan"}],"cvss":{"score":7.8,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:C","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[],"description":"VideoLAN VLC 0.8.6a allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted .wmv file.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":2,"first_seen":"2007-01-11","github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2007-01-11","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"29443","stars":null,"title":"VideoLAN VLC Media Player 0.8.6a - Denial of Service (2)"},{"date":"2007-01-12","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"3119","stars":null,"title":"VideoLAN VLC Media Player 0.8.6a - Denial of Service (1)"}],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2007-0256","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"videolan:vlc_media_player","products":["videolan:vlc_media_player"],"type":"denial_of_service","year":"2007"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":6,"next":{"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2007-0257"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2007-0255"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2007-01-16","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":"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":"Remote attackers can crash the VLC media player by tricking users into opening a maliciously crafted WMV file.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2007-0256/"}
