Summary
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Gentoo Linux Security Advisory GLSA 200803-16 https://security.gentoo.org/
Severity: Normal Title: MPlayer: Multiple buffer overflows Date: March 10, 2008 Bugs: #208566 ID: 200803-16
Synopsis ======= Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in MPlayer, possibly allowing for the remote execution of arbitrary code.
Background ========= MPlayer is a media player incuding support for a wide range of audio and video formats.
Affected packages ================ ------------------------------------------------------------------- Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 media-video/mplayer < 1.0_rc2_p25993 >= 1.0_rc2_p25993
========== The following errors have been discovered in MPlayer:
* Felipe Manzano and Anibal Sacco (Core Security Technologies) reported an array indexing error in the file libmpdemux/demux_mov.c when parsing MOV file headers (CVE-2008-0485).
* Damian Frizza and Alfredo Ortega (Core Security Technologies) reported a boundary error in the file libmpdemux/demux_audio.c when parsing FLAC comments (CVE-2008-0486).
* Adam Bozanich (Mu Security) reported boundary errors in the cddb_parse_matches_list() and cddb_query_parse() functions in the file stream_cddb.c when parsing CDDB album titles (CVE-2008-0629) and in the url_scape_string() function in the file stream/url.c when parsing URLS (CVE-2008-0630).
Impact ===== A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted file, possibly resulting in the execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running MPlayer.
Workaround ========= There is no known workaround at this time.
Resolution ========= All MPlayer users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=media-video/mplayer-1.0_rc2_p25993"
