VLC updated with Growl and security fixes

VideoLAN have announced the latest release of VLC Media Player on both Mac and Windows. Version 1.1.9 “The Luggage” mainly addresses security holes but the Mac version features more than a dozen interface fixes and now includes Growl notification software.

The security fix concerns a buffer overflow vulnerability with MP4/MPEG-4 files which could have been exploited by hackers. It also fixes the Libmodplug library to close a vulnerability when opening S3M files. A full list of fixes and improvements can be found here.
