Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: mplayer

Buffer overflow in the asmrp_eval function in the RealMedia RTSP stream
handler (asmrp.c) for Real Media input plugin, as used in (1) xine/xine-
lib, (2) MPlayer 1.0rc1 and earlier, and possibly others, allows remote
attackers to cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary
code via a rulebook with a large number of rulematches.

Feisty was fixed in 2:1.0~rc1-0ubuntu1, so only Dapper and Edgy are
vulnerable.
