Synopsis
========
Two vulnerabilities have been discovered in MPlayer, each one could
lead to the execution of arbitrary code.
Background
==========
MPlayer is a media player incuding support for a wide range of audio
and video formats.
Affected packages
=================
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected

Description
===========
A buffer overflow has been reported in the DMO_VideoDecoder_Open()
function in file loader/dmo/DMO_VideoDecoder.c. Another buffer overflow
has been reported in the DS_VideoDecoder_Open() function in file
loader/dshow/DS_VideoDecoder.c.
Impact
======
A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted video
file, potentially resulting in the execution of arbitrary code with the
privileges of the user running MPlayer.
Workaround
