Yes, that's correct. The file is corrupt and won't play in any player.
However, VLC also runs as a browser plugin so this bug could be used to
crash people's browser remotely. It's not at all inconceivable that this
bug also opens for remote code execution (if it's some form of buffer or
integer overflow for example).
