Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions VideoLAN VLC media player version 2.2.1

Description The issue is related to a buffer overflow in memory, which can be triggered by a specially crafted .3GP file. This can allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service.
