The host is installed with VLC Media Player and is prone to denial of service vulnerability.

Successful exploitation could allow attackers to crash the affected application, denying service to legitimate users. Impact Level: Application

No solution or patch was made available for at least one year since disclosure of this vulnerability. Likely none will be provided anymore. General solution options are to upgrade to a newer release, disable respective features, remove the product or replace the product by another one.

The flaw is due to an access violation error, when opening a specially-crafted '.amr' file, which allows remote attacker to cause the application to crash.

VLC media player version prior to 1.1.11 on Windows.
