CVE-2014-9629
Integer overflow in the Encode function in modules/codec/schroedinger.c in VideoLAN VLC media player before 2.1.6 and 2.2.x before 2.2.1 allows remote attackers to conduct buffer overflow attacks and execute arbitrary code via a crafted length value.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (2.37%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
