An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2015-5949 in the wild and no public exploit code.\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-2015-5949/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2015-5949/index.md)","id":"CVE-2015-5949","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2015-5949/index.md","name":"CVE-2015-5949","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2015-5949","DSA-3342-1","GHSA-jvqc-5hhq-rvwf","MGASA-2015-0324","MGASA-2015-0329"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["denial_of_service","code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"VLC media player","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can cause a crash or execute arbitrary code in VLC media player by tricking a user into opening a crafted 3GP file.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"use_after_free"},"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-119","name":"Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer"}],"description":"VideoLAN VLC media player 2.2.1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted 3GP file, which triggers the freeing of arbitrary pointers.","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":"Use after free in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-5949","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"videolan:vlc_media_player","products":["videolan:vlc_media_player"],"type":"use_after_free","year":"2015"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":9,"next":{"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-5950"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Race condition in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-5948"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2015-08-25","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)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-06","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Remote attackers can cause a crash or execute arbitrary code in VLC media player by tricking a user into opening a crafted 3GP file.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2015-5949/"}
