Background ========== MPlayer is a media player capable of handling multiple multimedia file formats. Affected packages ================= ------------------------------------------------------------------- Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 media-video/mplayer < 1.0_pre7-r1 >= 1.0_pre7-r1 Description =========== Sven Tantau discovered a heap overflow in the code handling the strf chunk of PCM audio streams. Impact ====== An attacker could craft a malicious video or audio file which, when opened using MPlayer, would end up executing arbitrary code on the victim's computer with the permissions of the user running MPlayer. Workaround ========== You can mitigate the issue by adding "ac=-pcm," to your MPlayer configuration file (note that this will prevent you from playing uncompressed audio). Resolution ========== All MPlayer users should upgrade to the latest version: # emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=media-video/mplayer-1.0_pre7-r1" References ========== [ 1 ] CAN-2005-2718 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2005-2718 [ 2 ] Original Advisory http://www.sven-tantau.de/public_files/mplayer/mplayer_20050824.txt Availability ============ This GLSA and any updates to it are available for viewing at the Gentoo Security Website: http://security.gentoo.org/glsa/glsa-200509-01.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.
