[Secure-testing-team] Bug#504639: vlc: buffer overflow in CUE support

[Remi Denis-Courmont]

Package: vlc-nox
Version: 0.8.6.h-4.1
Severity: grave
Tags: security
Justification: user security hole


	Hello,

When parsing the header of an invalid CUE image file or an invalid
RealText subtitle file, stack-based buffer overflows might occur:
http://www.videolan.org/security/sa0810.html

(I believe the RealText problem only affects experimental)

Regargs.
