Detail

A use-after-free was discovered in the MP4 demuxer of the VLC media player, which could result in the execution of arbitrary code if a malformed media file is played. For the stable distribution (stretch), this problem has been fixed in version 3.0.3-1-0+deb9u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your vlc packages.
