|
|
The MPlayer GUI code contains several buffer overflow vulnerabilities,
|
|
and at least one in the TranslateFilename() function is exploitable.
|
|
</p>

|
<impact type="normal">
|
|
<p>
|
|
By enticing a user to play a file with a carefully crafted filename an
|
|
attacker could execute arbitrary code with the permissions of the user
|
|
running MPlayer.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</impact>
|
|
<workaround>
|
|
<p>
|
|
To work around this issue, users can compile MPlayer without GUI
|
|
support by disabling the gtk USE flag. All users are encouraged to
|
|
upgrade to the latest available version of MPlayer.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</workaround>
|
|
<resolution>
|
|
<p>
|
|
All MPlayer users should upgrade to the latest version:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<code>
|
|
# emerge sync
|
|
|
|
# emerge -pv ">=media-video/mplayer-1.0_pre4-r7"
|
|
# emerge ">=media-video/mplayer-1.0_pre4-r7"</code>
