possibly resulting in the execution of arbitrary code with the
privileges of the user running MPlayer.

</impact>
<workaround>
<p>
There is no known workaround at this time.
</p>
</workaround>
<resolution>

# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=media-video/mplayer-1.0_rc2_p25993&quot;</code>
