| <p> |
| MPlayer is a media player including support for a wide range of audio |
| and video formats. |
| </p> |
| </background> |
| <description> |
| <p> |
| Multiple vulnerabilities have been reported in MPlayer: |
| </p> |
| <ul> |
| <li>A |
| stack-based buffer overflow was found in the str_read_packet() function |
| in libavformat/psxstr.c when processing crafted STR files that |
| interleave audio and video sectors (CVE-2008-3162).</li> |
| <li>Felipe |
| Andres Manzano reported multiple integer underflows in the |
| demux_real_fill_buffer() function in demux_real.c when processing |
| crafted Real Media files that cause the stream_read() function to read |
| or write arbitrary memory (CVE-2008-3827).</li> |
| <li>Tobias Klein |
| reported a stack-based buffer overflow in the demux_open_vqf() function |
| in libmpdemux/demux_vqf.c when processing malformed TwinVQ files |
| (CVE-2008-5616).</li> |
| </ul> |
| </description> |
| <impact type="normal"> |
| <p> |
| A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted STR, |
| Real Media, or TwinVQ file to execute arbitrary code or cause a Denial of |
| Service. |
| </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 ">=media-video/mplayer-1.0_rc2_p28058-r1 "</code> |
