CVE-2008-4686
Multiple integer overflows in ty.c in the TY demux plugin (aka the TiVo demuxer) in VideoLAN VLC media player, probably 0.9.4, might allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted .ty file, a different vulnerability than CVE-2008-4654.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (9.94%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
