[Update 8:35 AM] Based on a tweet by VideoLAN, VLC may not be as vulnerable as it initially appeared. VideoLAN says the “security issue” in VLC is caused y a third-party library called Libebml that was fixed 16 months ago, and that Mitre’s claim was based on previous (and outdated) version of VLC.

OK, I was posting quick, I didn’t have time to look into details.

At least make sure you update it.
