  "summary": "Updated vlc package fixes security vulnerability",
  "details": "Updated vlc packages (2.1.6) are an upgrade with some fixes. Some of the\nproblems fixed upstream were already fixed by a previous Mageia update\nto VLC (see the link to MGASA-2015-0053).\n\nVLC versions before 2.1.5 contain a vulnerability in the transcode module\nthat may allow a corrupted stream to overflow buffers on the heap. With a\nnon-malicious input, this could lead to heap corruption and a crash.\nHowever, under the right circumstances, a malicious attacker could\npotentially use this vulnerability to hijack program execution, and on\nsome platforms, execute arbitrary code (CVE-2014-6440)\n",
