<p>
MPlayer is a media player capable of handling multiple multimedia file
formats.
</p>
</background>
<description>
<p>
MPlayer makes use of the FFmpeg library, which is vulnerable to a heap
overflow in the avcodec_default_get_buffer() function discovered by
Simon Kilvington (see GLSA 200601-06). Furthermore, AFI Security
Research discovered two integer overflows in ASF file format decoding,
in the new_demux_packet() function from libmpdemux/demuxer.h and the
demux_asf_read_packet() function from libmpdemux/demux_asf.c.
</p>
</description>
<impact type="normal">
<p>
An attacker could craft a malicious media file which, when opened using
MPlayer, would lead to a heap-based buffer overflow. This could result
in the execution of arbitrary code with the permissions of the user
running MPlayer.
</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 &quot;&gt;=media-video/mplayer-1.0.20060217&quot;</code>
</resolution>
