The version of VLC media player installed on the remote host is earlier than 3.0.7.  It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

  - A heap-based buffer overflow condition exists in ReadFrame     due to improper parsing of AVI files. A remote attacker can     exploit this by tricking a user into opening a specially     crafted avi file to cause a denial of service condition     or the execution of arbitrary code.(CVE-2019-5439)

  - A double free vulnerability exists in zlib_decompress_extra     due to improper parsing of MKV files. A remote attacker can     exploit this by tricking a user into opening a specially     crafted MKV file to cause a denial of service condition     or the execution of arbitrary code.(CVE-2019-12874)

  - An Integer underflow in VLC Media Player versions < 3.0.7     leads to an out-of-band read..(CVE-2019-5459)

  - A double free vulnerability exists which lead to VLC application to crash.
