From upstream git [1]:
"This patch resolves two heap corruption vulnerabilities in the CDG decoder for VLC media player. In both cases, a failure to properly validate indexes into statically-sized arrays on the heap allows a maliciously crafted CDG video to corrupt the heap in a controlled manner, potentially leading to code execution." -Dan [1] http://git.videolan.org/?p=vlc.git;a=commit;h=f9b664eac0e1a7bceed9d7b5854fd9fc351b4aab
