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-2008-4558 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-2008-4558/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-4558/index.md)","id":"CVE-2008-4558","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-4558/index.md","name":"CVE-2008-4558","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2008-4558","GHSA-hh4p-jcm5-55rv"],"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":"Remote attackers can execute arbitrary code by tricking users into opening a malicious XSPF playlist file in VLC media player.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"memory_corruption"},"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-399","name":null}],"description":"Array index error in VLC media player 0.9.2 allows remote attackers to overwrite arbitrary memory and execute arbitrary code via an XSPF playlist file with a negative identifier tag, which passes a signed comparison.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":1,"first_seen":"2008-10-14","github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2008-10-14","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"6756","stars":null,"title":"VideoLAN VLC Media Player 0.9.2 Media Player - XSPF Memory Corruption"}],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-4558","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"videolan:vlc_media_player","products":["videolan:vlc_media_player"],"type":"memory_corruption","year":"2008"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":8,"next":{"headline":"Command injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-4559"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Code injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-4557"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2008-10-14","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":"Remote attackers can execute arbitrary code by tricking users into opening a malicious XSPF playlist file in VLC media player.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-4558/"}
