The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200812-24 (VLC: Multiple vulnerabilities)

Tobias Klein reported the following vulnerabilities:
A     stack-based buffer overflow when processing CUE image files in     modules/access/vcd/cdrom.c (CVE-2008-5032).
A stack-based     buffer overflow when processing RealText (.rt) subtitle files in the     ParseRealText() function in modules/demux/subtitle.c     (CVE-2008-5036).
An integer overflow when processing RealMedia     (.rm) files in the ReadRealIndex() function in real.c in the Real     demuxer plugin, leading to a heap-based buffer overflow     (CVE-2008-5276).

Impact :

A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted CUE     image file, RealMedia file or RealText subtitle file, possibly     resulting in the execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the     user running the application.

Workaround :

There is no known workaround at this time.
