The version of VLC media player installed on the remote Windows host is prior to 2.0.8. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

  • An exploitable denial of service vulnerability exists in plugins/demux/libmkv_plugin.dll in VideoLAN VLC Media Player 2.0.7 and possibly other versions. Allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted MKV file, possibly involving an integer overflow and out-of-bounds read or heap-based buffer overflow, or an uncaught exception. (CVE-2013-3245).

  • An exploitable denial of service vulnerability exists in the mp4a packetizer (modules/packetizer/mpeg4audio.c) in VideoLAN VLC Media Player before 2.0.8. Allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via unspecified vectors. (CVE-2013-4388).

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