    Heap overflows have been found in the code handling RealMedia RTSP and

    </p>
  </description>
  <impact type="normal">
    <p>
    By setting up a malicious server and enticing a user to use its
    streaming data, a remote attacker could possibly execute arbitrary code
    on the client computer 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_pre6-r4&quot;</code>
  </resolution>
