The version of VLC media player installed on the remote host is between 0.5.0 and 1.1.10. As such, it is reportedly affected by multiple vulnerabilities:
An integer overflow error exists in the handling of the RealAudio portions of RealMedia files. (VideoLAN-SA-1105)
An integer underflow error exists in the handling of βstrfβ portions of AVI files. (VideoLAN-SA-1106)
Exploiting these vulnerabilities can lead to application crashes and possibly code execution through heap-based buffer overflows.
