VideoLAN Client (VLC)
VLC media player - All pull requests are ignored, please use MRs on https://code.videolan.org/videolan/vlc
> Security Bulletin VLC 3.0.21
> Summary: Vulnerability fixed in VLC media player
> Date: June 2024
> Affected versions: VLC media player 3.0.20 and earlier
> ID: VideoLAN-SB-VLC-3021
> Details
> A denial of service through a potential integer overflow could be triggered with a maliciously crafted mms stream (heap based overflow)
> Impact
> If successful, a malicious third party could trigger either a crash of VLC or an arbitratry code execution with the privileges of the target user.
> While these issues in themselves are most likely to just crash the player, we can't exclude that they could be combined to leak user informations or remotely execute code. ASLR and DEP help reduce the likelyness of code execution, but may be bypassed.
> We have not seen exploits performing code execution through this vulnerability.
> Threat mitigation
> Exploitation of those issues requires the user to explicitly open a maliciously crafted mms stream.
> Workarounds
> The user should refrain from opening mms streams from untrusted third parties (or disable the VLC browser plugins), until the patch is applied.
> Solution
> VLC media player 3.0.21 addresses the issue.
> Credits
> Reported by Andreas Fobian of Mantodea Security GmbH

My recommendation would be to use ClamAV an open source antivirus engine. It is a versatile tool designed to detect multiple types of threats from numerous file formats and other use cases (cross-platform, integration such as mail server). Finally, it is updated on a daily basis, ensuring protection against the latest known threats. This rapid update cycle is crucial for an antivirus tool to be effective.

Project mention: The European Union must keep funding free software | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-07-19PyPy received an EU grant sometime in the late 2000s or early 2010s, although it had to be a different one. If I understood TFA correctly, NLnet is partially funded by this money? NLnet itself distributes money to very cool software things[1]—some moonshots[2], some very down-to-earth and usable ones[3].
