The version of VLC media player 0.9 installed on the remote host is earlier than 0.9.8a. Such versions contain a heap-based integer buffer overflow in the Real demuxer plugin (libreal_plugin.*'). If an attacker can trick a user into opening a specially crafted RealMedia (.rm) file, arbitrary code could be executed within the context of the affected application.
