Synopsis |
16 |
======== |
17 |
|
18 |
MPlayer is vulnerable to integer overflows in FFmpeg and ASF decoding |
19 |
that could potentially result in the execution of arbitrary code. |
20 |
|
21 |
Background |
22 |
========== |
23 |
|
24 |
MPlayer is a media player capable of handling multiple multimedia file |
25 |
formats. |
26 |
|
27 |
Affected packages |
28 |
================= |

1 media-video/mplayer < 1.0.20060217 >= 1.0.20060217 |

35 |
Description |
36 |
=========== |
37 |
|
38 |
MPlayer makes use of the FFmpeg library, which is vulnerable to a heap |
39 |
overflow in the avcodec_default_get_buffer() function discovered by |
40 |
Simon Kilvington (see GLSA 200601-06). Furthermore, AFI Security |
41 |
Research discovered two integer overflows in ASF file format decoding, |
42 |
in the new_demux_packet() function from libmpdemux/demuxer.h and the |
43 |
demux_asf_read_packet() function from libmpdemux/demux_asf.c. |
44 |
|
45 |
Impact |
46 |
====== |
47 |
|
48 |
An attacker could craft a malicious media file which, when opened using |
49 |
MPlayer, would lead to a heap-based buffer overflow. This could result |
50 |
in the execution of arbitrary code with the permissions of the user |
51 |
running MPlayer. |
52 |
|
53 |
Workaround |
54 |
========== |
55 |
|
56 |
There is no known workaround at this time. |
57 |
|
58 |
Resolution |
59 |
========== |
60 |
|
61 |
All MPlayer users should upgrade to the latest version: |
62 |
|
63 |
# emerge --sync |
64 |
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=media-video/mplayer-1.0.20060217" |
65 |
