Date Reported:

Affected Packages:

mplayer

Vulnerable:

Yes

Security database references:

In the Debian bugtracking system: Bug 500683.
In Mitre's CVE dictionary: CVE-2008-3827.

More information:

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 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 the unstable distribution (sid), these problems have been fixed in version 1.0~rc2-18.

We recommend that you upgrade your mplayer packages.

Fixed in:

Debian GNU/Linux 4.0 (etch)
