See https://www.ghacks.net/2019/07/24/confu ... erability/ . The user who found the vulnerability was running Ubuntu 18.04 which was released on April 26, 2018. On Ubuntu, there is a dependency on the libebml library which had the vulnerability. That library has already been patched by later version of Ubuntu, and does not currently exist in VLC.
Something happening on a show turns into a board comment.

Does anyone still actually use VLC anymore?

I've got it on my phone, it's really good for streaming music off the local network computer
