VLC, the popular cross-platform media player, has reached version 3.0.8, which fixes over a dozen security vulnerabilities, some of which could be exploited by attackers to achieve code execution on victims’ machines.
About VLC
VLC is an extremely popular piece of software that started as an academic project. It’s free and open-source and is available for Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, Chrome OS, iOS, Apple TV, and Windows Phone.
It is currently maintained by the VideoLAN non-profit organization, which took advantage of a bug bounty program set up and sponsored by EU’s Free and Open Source Software Audit (FOSSA 2) project.
The VLC bug bounty program has been concluded last week, but others sponsored by the European Commission are still open.
