DESCRIPTION:
shinnai has discovered a vulnerability in VLC Media Player, which can
be exploited by malicious people to potentially compromise a user's
system.

The vulnerability is caused due to an error within the "VLC
Multimedia Plug-in" for Mozilla, which can be exploited to
potentially execute arbitrary code by tricking a user into opening a
specially crafted website in a browser using this plugin.

Successful exploitation requires that the "VLC Multimedia Plug-in"
for Mozilla is installed (not installed by default).

The vulnerability is confirmed in version 1.1.4. Other versions may
also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Do not use the plugin.
