The rtp_packetize_xiph_config function in modules/stream_out/rtpfmt.c in VideoLAN VLC media player before 2.1.6 uses a stack-allocation approach with a size determined by arbitrary input data, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted length value.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2014-9630 is a VLC media player flaw fixed before version 2.1.6. Crafted input could make VLC allocate stack memory based on attacker-controlled length data, causing memory corruption, denial of service, or possibly other unspecified impact. Exposure is most likely on systems still running VLC before 2.1.6, especially where VLC processes untrusted media or streaming data. The provided CVE data does not identify CPEs or deployment prevalence. Treat this as a targeted legacy-software cleanup item. It is not listed as actively exploited in the provided sources, but vulnerable VLC versions can fail on malicious media and should be removed or upgraded. Mitigation focus: Upgrade VLC media player to version 2.1.6 or later.; Review VideoLAN SA1501 for vendor-confirmed remediation details.; Limit VLC handling of untrusted media streams until patched..
