VideoLAN VLC MKV Memory Corruption

This module exploits an input validation error in VideoLAN VLC < 1.1.7. By creating a malicious MKV or WebM file, a remote attacker could execute arbitrary code. NOTE: As of July 1st, 2010, VLC now calls SetProcessDEPPoly to permanently enable NX support on machines that support it.

Mitigation:

Update to VLC version 1.1.7 or later.
