We will have one CVE per vulnerable application. Yes, it's going to be very painful. Roughly, the rationale is: "the product does not protect against a common configuration/behavior in its environment."

VLC was exploitable by loading wintab32.dll, a component request by
Qt, as shown in http://www.exploit-db.com/exploits/14750/

Use CVE-2010-3124


There's another possibility with DMO.

Is this a distinct product outside of VLC, or is it just a different component / attack vector?
