"The version of VLC media player installed on the remote Windows host is prior to 1.0.6. It is, therefore, 
affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

  - A denial of service (DoS) vulnerability exists in VideoLAN VLC media player before 1.0.6 due to 
    heap-based buffer overflow. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this issue, via a crafted 
    byte stream to the (1) A/52, (2) DTS, or (3) MPEG Audio decoder, to cause a denial of service 
    (application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2010-1441).

  - A denial of service (DoS) vulnerability exists in VideoLAN VLC media player before 1.0.6. 
    An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this issue, via a crafted byte stream to the (1) AVI, 
    (2) ASF, or (3) Matroska (aka MKV) demuxer, to cause a denial of service (invalid memory access and 
    application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2010-1442).

  - A denial of service (DoS) vulnerability exists in VideoLAN VLC media player before 1.0.6 due to 
    parse_track_node function in modules/demux/playlist/xspf.c in the XSPF playlist parser. 
    An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this issue, via an empty location element in an XML 
    Shareable Playlist Format (XSPF) document, to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and 
    application crash). (CVE-2010-1443).

  - A denial of service (DoS) vulnerability exists in VideoLAN VLC media player before 1.0.6 due to 
    ZIP archive decompressor. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this issue, via a crafted 
    archive, to ccause a denial of service (invalid memory access and application crash) or possibly execute 
    arbitrary code. (CVE-2010-1444).

  - A denial of service (DoS) vulnerability exists in VideoLAN VLC media player before 1.0.6 due to 
    heap-based buffer overflow. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this issue,  via a crafted 
    byte stream in an RTMP session, to cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly execute 
    arbitrary code. (CVE-2010-1445).

  - A denial of service (DoS) vulnerability exists in VideoLAN VLC media player before 1.0.6 due to 
    buffer overflow. An user-assisted, remote attacker can exploit this issue, via a crafted .mp3 file that 
    is played during bookmark creation, to cause a denial of service (memory corruption and 
    application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2011-1087).

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
