How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:11 vlc to version 0.8.6.e-1.1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream vlc package and not the vlc package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:11 relevant fixed versions and status.

Integer overflow in the MP4_ReadBox_rdrf function in libmp4.c for VLC 0.8.6e allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted MP4 RDRF box that triggers a heap-based buffer overflow, a different vulnerability than CVE-2008-0984.
