The version of VLC media player installed on the remote host is earlier than 1.1.6. Such versions are reportedly affected by the following vulnerabilities :
An integer overflow vulnerability exists due a failure to properly parse the header of a Real Media, which could then trigger a heap-based buffer overflow. It is not yet known if this issue can be exploited to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2010-3907)
There are two heap corruption vulnerabilities in the CDG decoder that arise because of a failure to validate indices into statically-sized arrays on the heap, which could allow for arbitrary code execution. (CVE-2011-0021)
The ‘StripTags()’ function in the USF and Text decoders may scan past the end of a subtitle in an MKV file with an opening ‘<’ char but without a corresponding closing ‘>’ char, resulting in heap memory corruption. (CVE-2011-0522)
