The version of VLC media player installed on the remote host is earlier than 2.0.1. Such versions are affected by multiple vulnerabilities:
The function βMMSOpenβ in the MMS access plugin contains a boundary error that can allow a stack-based buffer overflow when maliciously crafted MMS streams are opened. (CVE-2012-1775)
The Realrtsp plugin contains an unspecified error that can allow a heap-based buffer overflow when maliciously crafted Real rtsp streams are opened. (CVE-2012-1776)
