- ------------------------------------------------------------------------Package        : mplayer
Vulnerability  : integer overflow
Problem type   : local (remote)
Debian-specific: no
CVE Id(s)      : CVE-2008-3827
Debian Bug     : 500683

Felipe Andres Manzano discovered that mplayer, a multimedia player, is
vulnerable to several integer overflows in the Real video stream
demuxing code.  These flaws could allow an attacker to cause a denial
of service (a crash) or potentially the execution of arbitrary code by
supplying a maliciously crafted video file.

For the stable distribution (etch), these problems have been fixed in
version 1.0~rc1-12etch5.  For he unstable distribution (sid), these
problems have been fixed in version 1.0~rc2-18.

We recommend that you upgrade your mplayer packages.
