(There’s only so many GUIs and sets of shortcut keys I want to have to hop back and forth between, and customizing shortcut keys to make them more uniform across different apps is kind of a hassle across multiple computers, especially if you progressively refine the customizations as you go, in different computers!) I mostly use SMPlayer for video because of its *markedly* sharper and more stable video rendering on my 9- and 10-year-old laptops with integrated graphics, but I still use VLC for audio because its playlist management is less clumsy than SMPlayer’s. I’m slowly transitioning to Linux, so I only use media players that are supported in *both* Windows and Linux for now. If it turns out that VLC isn’t fully functional, I’ll just download the standalone installer and run that. The installer ran to completion and VLC loaded just fine. On both halts, I unlocked the file in question using IObit Unlocker and then hit Retry. Installation halted when the installer needed to do something with C:\Program Files\vlc.exe, and then again when it needed to do something with C:\Program Files\VLC Media Player\plugins\lua\liblua_plugin.dll. Notwithstanding what DoNotAutoUpdate said above, I updated using VLC 圆4’s internal updater. The update makes other a handful of other non-security related changes as well: VLC Media Player 3.0.8 is a security update first and foremost. Note that the issues are not available to the public at the time of writing. You may look up the vulnerabilities with CVE IDs, e.g. Fix a division by zero in the ASF demuxer (CVE-2019-14535).Fix a division by zero in the CAF demuxer (CVE-2019-14498).Fix a null dereference in the AVI demuxer. ![]() Fix a null dereference in the ASF demuxer (CVE-2019-14534).Fix a null dereference in the dvdnav demuxer.Fix a couple of integer underflows in the MP4 demuxer (CVE-2019-13602).Fix a use after free in the ASF demuxer (CVE-2019-14533).Fix a read buffer overflow in the ASF demuxer (CVE-2019-14776).Fix a read buffer overflow in the FAAD decoder.Fix a read buffer overflow in the avcodec decoder (CVE-2019-13962). ![]() Fix a buffer overflow in the MKV demuxer (CVE-2019-14970).The new version of VLC patches the following issues in previous versions of the client application. ![]() Cautious users may want to wait for the official announcement to download the new version either from the VideoLAN website or by using the application's integrated updater. Whether you will do that right away or wait for the official release notification by VideoLAN is up to you. You may download the new release and install it over the old.
