An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2014-6440 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: n/a. 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-2014-6440/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2014-6440/index.md)","id":"CVE-2014-6440","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2014-6440/index.md","name":"CVE-2014-6440","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2014-6440","GHSA-hgvf-qfh8-3x8f","MGASA-2015-0095","UBUNTU-CVE-2014-6440"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution","denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"VLC media player","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can execute arbitrary code or cause denial of service in VLC media player via memory corruption vulnerabilities.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"memory_corruption"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"vlc","vendor":"videolan"}],"cvss":{"score":9.8,"severity":"critical","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-119","name":"Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer"}],"description":"VideoLAN VLC media player before 2.1.5 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2014-6440","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"memory_corruption","year":"2014"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":5,"next":{"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2014-6444"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Cross-site scripting in Elasticsearch","id":"CVE-2014-6439"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2017-03-28","related":[{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2007-6681","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2008-01-17"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Code injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2007-6682","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2008-01-17"},{"cvss_score":6.8,"headline":"Integer overflow in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-1768","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2008-04-24"},{"cvss_score":6.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-1769","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2008-04-24"},{"cvss_score":6.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-1881","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2008-04-17"},{"cvss_score":6.8,"headline":"Integer overflow in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-1489","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2008-03-25"}],"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)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-06","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Remote attackers can execute arbitrary code or cause denial of service in VLC media player via memory corruption vulnerabilities.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2014-6440/"}
