If a user were tricked into opening a crafted image file, a remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause VLC to crash, leading to a denial of service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 16.04 LTS and Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. (CVE-2019-19721)

It was discovered that VLC could be made to write out of bounds when processing H.264 video files. If a user were tricked into opening a crafted H.264 video file, a remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause VLC to crash, leading to a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code. This issue only affected Ubuntu 18.04 LTS and Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. (CVE-2020-13428)

It was discovered that VLC could be made to read out of bounds when processing AVI video files. If a user were tricked into opening a crafted AVI video file, a remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause VLC to crash, leading to a denial of service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, and Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. (CVE-2021-25801, CVE-2021-25802, CVE-2021-25803, CVE-2021-25804)
