The version of VLC media player installed on the remote host is earlier than 1.1.9. Such versions are affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

  • A heap based buffer overflow exists in the function ‘MP4_ReadBox_skcr’ in ‘modules/demux/mp4/libmp4.c’.
    This issue can be triggered when parsing of a malicious MP4 file and lead to application crashes and possibly arbitrary code execution.

  • An unspecified error exists in the third-party libmodplug component included with VLC.
