"MPlayer is a movie player for LINUX (runs on many other Unices, and
|
|
non-x86 CPUs, see the documentation). It plays most MPEG, VOB, AVI,
|
|
OGG/OGM, VIVO, ASF/WMA/WMV, QT/MOV/MP4, FLI, RM, NuppelVideo, YUV4MPEG,
|
|
FILM, RoQ, PVA files, supported by many native, XAnim, and Win32 DLL
|
|
codecs. You can watch VideoCD, SVCD, DVD, 3ivx, DivX 3/4/5 and even WMV
|
|
movies, too."

A vulnerability exists in the MPlayer HTTP parser which may allow an
|
|
attacker to craft a special HTTP header ("Location:") which will trick
|
|
MPlayer into executing arbitrary code on the user's computer.
