>A German cybersecurity agency, CERT-Bund, which is responsible for organising the country's response to any computer emergencies, has recently discovered what it describes as a critical flaw in the popular VLC Media Player.
>VLC is known to be a highly compatible media player, and thus boasts an impressive total downloads of over 3 billion, making this vulnerability all the more dangerous. CERT-Bund classified the vulnerability, officially logged as CVE-2019-13615, to be a "High" (Level 4) exploit, which is the second-highest risk assessment level by the agency.
>The exploit is rather nasty and allows attackers to not only execute code remotely but also allows for unauthorised disclosure of information, unauthorised modification of files and disruption of service.
>VLC is currently in the process of creating a fix, which can be seen on its website here. However, the ticket shows work on the fix is only 60% complete and there's no ETA on when it might be complete. CERT-Bund says there are no known cases where the exploit has actually been used by attackers, but it might be a good idea to steer clear of VLC for the time being, until the exploit is officially patched. We've reached out to Videolan for more information about the matter, and for an estimate of when a fix might become available.
What kind of retard even uses this program in the current year?

CERT-Bund sind die größten vollhonks die es gibt. Die pissen sich wegen jeder scheisse ein. Boo-fucking-hoo "Port xyz ist offen". Kackt euch nicht ein ihr vollidioten, haltet einfach das Maul, es interessiert niemanden. Wer nicht auf sein Heimnetz aufpassen kann hat halt einfach Pech.

Probably the same type of retard who asks this question about a media player that's been downloaded over three billion times.

The only reason a lot of these vulns in VLC are being presented these days is because the EU set up a bug bounty program for VLC. I'm pretty sure that other alternatives without such programs have many underlying vulns as well.
Slow news day on Jow Forums? Why aren't you shilling that retarded Firefox extension or making racebait threads about pajeets taking your imaginary jobs?
Leo Johnson
Yep because normie-Chad uses linux
