libvlc5: The CAF demuxer in modules/demux/caf.c in VideoLAN VLC media player 3.0.4 may read memory from an uninitialized point...
CVE-2018-19857 is fixed in 20 products on 1 platform, first by libvlc-bin 3.0.7.1-0ubuntu18.04.1, released July 13, 2019. It is not reported as exploited. Patch Radar priority: Routine.
The CAF demuxer in modules/demux/caf.c in VideoLAN VLC media player 3.0.4 may read memory from an uninitialized pointer when processing magic cookies in CAF files, because a ReadKukiChunk() cast converts a return value to an unsigned int even if that value is negative. This could result in a denial of service and/or a potential infoleak.
