The version of VLC media player installed on the remote host is earlier than 2.1.2. As such, it reportedly includes a version of Live Networks’ Live555 Streaming Media library earlier than 2013.11.29. A buffer overflow vulnerability in the ‘parseRTSPRequestString()’ function in that library exists that could lead to a program crash or arbitrary code execution when handling a specially crafted RTSP message.
