Re: CVE request: crashers / potential security risks in mplayer

["Steven M. Christey" <coley () linus mitre org>]

Note, some of this stuff is hard to sift through because of such a large
number of crashers.  We're taking a relatively conservative approach here.

The 2007 CVE number is for issues that were technically released in 2007.
