MPlayer: User-assisted execution of arbitrary code An integer overflow vulnerability in MPlayer may allow for the execution of arbitrary code. mplayer 2008-05-29 2008-05-29: 01 215006 remote 1.0_rc2_p26753 1.0_rc2_p26753

MPlayer is a media player including support for a wide range of audio and video formats.

k`sOSe reported an integer overflow vulnerability in the sdpplin_parse() function in the file stream/realrtsp/sdpplin.c, which can be exploited to overwrite arbitrary memory regions via an overly large "StreamCount" SDP parameter.

A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted media file, possibly resulting in the execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running MPlayer.

There is no known workaround at this time.

All MPlayer users should upgrade to the latest version:

# emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=media-video/mplayer-1.0_rc2_p26753"
