This host is installed with VLC Media Player and is prone to Buffer Overflow Vulnerability. Successful exploitation allows attackers to execute arbitrary code by tricking a user into opening a specially crafted TY file or can even crash an affected application. The flaw is due to a boundary error while parsing the header of an invalid TY file
