The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-202101-37 (VLC: Buffer overflow)

VLC was found to have a buffer overflow when handling crafted MKV files.

Impact :

A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted MKV       file using VLC possibly resulting in execution of arbitrary code with the       privileges of the process or a Denial of Service condition.

Workaround :

There is no known workaround at this time.
