Synopsis
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
An integer overflow vulnerability in MPlayer may allow for the
execution of arbitrary code.
Background
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
MPlayer is a media player including support for a wide range of audio
and video formats.
Affected packages
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
-------------------------------------------------------------------
1 media-video/mplayer < 1.0_rc2_p26753 >=3D 1.0_rc2_p26753
Description
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
k`sOSe reported an integer overflow vulnerability in the
sdpplin_parse() function in the file stream/realrtsp/sdpplin.c, which
can be exploited to overwrite arbitrary memory regions via an overly
large "StreamCount" SDP parameter.
Impact
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted media
file, possibly resulting in the execution of arbitrary code with the
privileges of the user running MPlayer.
Workaround
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
There is no known workaround at this time.
Resolution
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
All MPlayer users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose
">=3Dmedia-video/mplayer-1.0_rc2_p26753"
