Open your eyes: mozilla-plugin-vlc

Well the other way at looking at the situation is that people cares
enough to report the problems and people (well, mainly Rémi) cares
enough to publish fixed version and advisories.

We could also choose to send such report to /dev/null and maybe people
would think that vlc is more secure.
