-{ Quote: "VLC Media Player (formerly called VideoLAN Client) has been updated today to version 0.9.8a to address a security threat that was previously reported at the end of November. The 0.9.8a binaries for Windows and Mac OS X have been fixed and updated. The new binaries close the open source media player's vulnerability that arose from a possible buffer overflow within the Real demultiplexer that could be used by a malicious third party to execute arbitrary code. The projects site strongly recommends that all users of the Mac or Windows client update to version 0.9.8a." }-Heise (http://www.heise-online.co.uk/security/VLC-Media-Player-binaries-updated-to-fix-vulnerability--/news/112210)
