"The version of VLC media player installed on the remote Windows host
is earlier than 1.1.5.  Such versions are vulnerable to a stack
smashing attack in the Samba network share access module due to an
error in the way VLC calls the Windows API function
'WNetAddConnection2A()' when opening 'smb://' URLs. 

If an attacker can trick a user into opening a specially crafted URL
with the affected application, he can leverage this issue to execute
arbitrary code subject to that user's permissions."
