Description

This module exploits VLC media player when handling a .AMV file. By flipping
the 0x41st byte in the file format (video width/height), VLC crashes due to an
invalid pointer, which allows remote attackers to gain arbitrary code execution.
The vulnerable packages include: VLC 1.1.4, VLC 1.1.5, VLC 1.1.6, VLC 1.1.7. Also,
please note that IE 8 targets require Java support in order to run properly.
