They should start another company (or companies) that would hire drivers (as employees), then Uber and Lyft can contract with that company and also contract with individuals who want to remain independent. This would be the best of both worlds.

I just realized it is also just an over-READ error (see the CVE). It doesn’t even modify memory.

And reporters writing about security vulnerabilities should understand the CVSS inside and out and be able to read and understand a CVE to see if it matches reality.

Also, buffer overruns can’t execute malicious code (modern CPUs prevent code execution from data memory). It *might* be possible to trick VLC into behaving improperly, but it can’t do anything it isn’t already capable of doing. The CVE entry is flawed in several ways, the Attack Vector is not “Network” (not remotely…
