Background ========== MPlayer is a media player including support for a wide range of audio and video formats. Affected packages ================= ------------------------------------------------------------------- Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 mplayer < 1.0_rc2_p28058-r1 >= 1.0_rc2_p28058-r1 Description =========== Multiple vulnerabilities have been reported in MPlayer: * A stack-based buffer overflow was found in the str_read_packet() function in libavformat/psxstr.c when processing crafted STR files that interleave audio and video sectors (CVE-2008-3162). * Felipe Andres Manzano reported multiple integer underflows in the demux_real_fill_buffer() function in demux_real.c when processing crafted Real Media files that cause the stream_read() function to read or write arbitrary memory (CVE-2008-3827). * Tobias Klein reported a stack-based buffer overflow in the demux_open_vqf() function in libmpdemux/demux_vqf.c when processing malformed TwinVQ files (CVE-2008-5616). Impact ====== A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted STR, Real Media, or TwinVQ file to execute arbitrary code or cause a Denial of Service. 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_p28058-r1 " References ========== [ 1 ] CVE-2008-3162 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2008-3162 [ 2 ] CVE-2008-3827 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2008-3827 [ 3 ] CVE-2008-5616 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2008-5616 Availability ============ This GLSA and any updates to it are available for viewing at the Gentoo Security Website: http://security.gentoo.org/glsa/glsa-200901-07.xml Concerns? ========= Security is a primary focus of Gentoo Linux and ensuring the confidentiality and security of our users machines is of utmost importance to us.
