[GeoNelson88]

Hi Everyone,

Did anyone happen to create a installer to fix the latest security issue with in VLC player. I have about 200 machines that are vulnerable. I tried creating a basic installer , but it failed to work.

I went ahead and approved it. There were actually two people who submitted a VLC deployment package. You can find Citizen's topic here: https://www.lansweeper.com/forum/yaf_postst17590_VLC-Media-Player-Installer-v3-0-7-1.aspx#post58975

Posted to installer section, but it has to be approved by a mod first.

Hi Guy's,

With the recent vulnerability discovered VLC Player CVE-2019-5439. I have just updated our internal installer package to remove both the 32bit & 64bit versions, as well as install the updated version based on your OS.

We had 173 install's, which include a bunch of laptops working remotely on VPN. I have deployed this out earlier using the report supplied by Lansweeper, 108 have already updated. A few machines are offline etc, however are scheduled to retry for the next week. I will review the report daily to see whats remaining etc.

Requirements
You need to download both installers to the following path
{PackageShare}\VideoLAN (VLC)\
If you don't use the package share, then you will need to put your installer path in the package instead.

32bit Installer
https://videolan.mirrors.theom.nz/vlc/3.0.7.1/win32/vlc-3.0.7.1-win32.exe

64bit Installer
https://videolan.mirrors.theom.nz/vlc/3.0.7.1/win64/vlc-3.0.7.1-win64.exe

https://ftp.stu.edu.tw/others/VideoLAN/vlc/3.0.7.1/win64/vlc-3.0.7.1-win64.exe

Any issues or package suggestions, please let me know.
Note this is a silent installer (with no message to the user & it will kill VLC if running).
