Steve, MITRE, vendors:

It appears that there may be two CVE's for the same issue:

CVE-2011-5231 - Double free vulnerability in the get_chunk_header
function in modules/demux/ty.c in VideoLAN VLC media player 0.9.0
through 1.1.12 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service
(crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted TiVo (TY) file.
