The version of VLC media player installed on the remote host is prior to 2.0.2. It is, therefore, affected by the following vulnerabilities :
A denial of service (DoS) vulnerability exists in libpng_plugin in VLC media player before 2.0.2. Allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a crafted PNG file. (CVE-2012-2396)
A denial of service (DoS) vulnerability exists in the Ogg_DecodePacket function in the OGG demuxer (modules/demux/ogg.c) in VideoLAN VLC media player before 2.0.2 . Allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted OGG file. (CVE-2012-3377)
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the applicationβs self-reported version number.
