Sven Tantau discovered a heap overflow in the code handling the
|
|
strf chunk of PCM audio streams.

<impact type="normal">
|
|
<p>
|
|
An attacker could craft a malicious video or audio file which,
|
|
when opened using MPlayer, would end up executing arbitrary code on the
|
|
victim's computer with the permissions of the user running MPlayer.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</impact>
|
|
<workaround>
|
|
<p>
|
|
You can mitigate the issue by adding "ac=-pcm," to your MPlayer
|
|
configuration file (note that this will prevent you from playing
|
|
uncompressed audio).
|
|
</p>
|
|
</workaround>
|
|
<resolution>
|
|
<p>
|
|
All MPlayer users should upgrade to the latest version:
|
|

|
|
<code>
|
|
# emerge --sync
|
|
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=media-video/mplayer-1.0_pre7-r1"</code>
