VLC media player suffers big security issue

Germany cybersecurity agency CERT-Bund has discovered a critical flaw in VLC Media Player which could allow for remote code execution on victims’ devices.

If successfully executed, the flaw could grant access to users’ data and allow attackers to modify their files.

I use PotPlayer and have for a very long time. They too have been flagged by Malwarebytes recently.

That's 4 weeks since reported, isn't that a bit quick for public disclosure?

Makes two of us, works very well with basically everything. I do use MPV more often though, it always just works and is very clean, that is after you have spent years creating and editing cfg files to get it to do anything.

Even if VLC was the virus I'd still use it.
