CVE-2014-1684
Status: ModifiedMedium (4.3)—💥 Exploit
The ASF_ReadObject_file_properties function in modules/demux/asf/libasf.c in the ASF Demuxer in VideoLAN VLC Media Player before 2.1.3 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (divide-by-zero error and crash) via a zero minimum and maximum data packet size in an ASF file.
CVSS
- Version: 2.0
- Vector: AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P
- Base score: 4.3
Exploitation probability (EPSS)
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 5.19%
- Percentile among all scored CVEs: 92
- Score date: 10/7/2026
EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, FIRST) estimates how likely a vulnerability is to be exploited in the wild within 30 days. It complements CVSS (impact) and CISA KEV (confirmed exploitation).
💥 Public exploits
Exploit code or detection templates are publicly available. This is not the same as confirmed active exploitation (KEV), but it raises the risk: patch with priority.
