Mitsurugi Heishiro found out that in VLC, multimedia player and streamer, a potential buffer overflow in the vnc module could trigger remote code execution if a malicious vnc URL is deliberately played.



For Debian 9 stretch, these problems have been fixed in version 3.0.17.4-0+deb9u2.

We recommend that you upgrade your vlc packages.
