TITLE:
MPlayer Two Buffer Overflow Vulnerabilities

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA24444

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/24444/

CRITICAL:
Highly critical

IMPACT:
DoS, System access

WHERE:
>From remote

SOFTWARE:
MPlayer 1.x
http://secunia.com/product/2255/

DESCRIPTION:
Some vulnerabilities have been reported in MPlayer, which can
potentially be exploited by malicious people to compromise a
vulnerable system.

The vulnerabilities are caused due to boundary errors in the
"DMO_VideoDecoder_Open()" function in loader/dmo/DMO_VideoDecoder.c
and in the "DS_VideoDecoder_Open()" function in
loader/dshow/DS_VideoDecoder.c. These can be exploited to cause
heap-based buffer overflows and may allow execution of arbitrary code
via a specially crafted media file.

The vulnerabilities are reported in version 1.0rc1. Other versions
may also be affected.

SOLUTION:
The vulnerabilities are fixed in the SVN repository.

Do not open media files from untrusted sources..
