|
|
iDEFENSE, Ariel Berkman and the MPlayer development team found
|
|
multiple vulnerabilities in MPlayer. These include potential heap
|
|
overflows in Real RTSP and pnm streaming code, stack overflows in MMST
|
|
streaming code and multiple buffer overflows in BMP demuxer and mp3lib
|
|
code.
|
|

|
|
<impact type="normal">
|
|
<p>
|
|
A remote attacker could craft a malicious file or design a
|
|
malicious streaming server. Using MPlayer to view this file or connect
|
|
to this server could trigger an overflow and execute
|
|
attacker-controlled code.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</impact>
|
|
<workaround>
|
|
<p>
|
|
There is no known workaround at this time.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</workaround>
|
|
<resolution>
|
|
<p>
|
|
All MPlayer users should upgrade to the latest version:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<code>
|
|
# emerge --sync
|
|
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=media-video/mplayer-1.0_pre5-r5"</code>
|
