The remote Debian 10 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the dla-3216 advisory.

  • An integer overflow in the VNC module in VideoLAN VLC Media Player through 3.0.17.4 allows attackers, by tricking a user into opening a crafted playlist or connecting to a rogue VNC server, to crash VLC or execute code under some conditions. (CVE-2022-41325)

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