The version of VLC media player installed on the remote host is earlier than 3.0.7. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities:
A heap-based buffer overflow condition exists in ReadFrame due to improper parsing of AVI files. A remote attacker can exploit this by tricking a user into opening a specially crafted avi file to cause a denial of service condition or the execution of arbitrary code.(CVE-2019-5439)
A double free vulnerability exists in zlib_decompress_extra due to improper parsing of MKV files. A remote attacker can exploit this by tricking a user into opening a specially crafted MKV file to cause a denial of service condition or the execution of arbitrary code.(CVE-2019-12874)
An Integer underflow in VLC Media Player versions < 3.0.7 leads to an out-of-band read…(CVE-2019-5459)
A double free vulnerability exists which lead to VLC application to crash.
(CVE-2019-5460)
