VLC 3.0.24 Released with 130+ Security Fixes, ATRAC3/ATRAC9 Decoding

VLC media player version 3.0.24 was released yesterday, described by VideoLAN president Jean-Baptiste Kempf as the "biggest security release ever." This update addresses over 130 security flaws and bugs across the application and its bundled libraries. Kempf noted that while many of these vulnerabilities are "hard to exploit in practice," not all are "harmless," prompting a recommendation for users to update. The 3.0.24 release focuses primarily on security and stability. It does not introduce major new user-facing features but includes general improvements and adds support for ATRAC3 and ATRAC9 audio decoding.
