Package : mplayer
Vulnerability : integer overflow
Problem type : local (remote)
Debian-specific: no

tixxDZ (DZCORE labs) discovered a vulnerability in the mplayer movie
player. Missing data validation in mplayer's real data transport (RDT)
implementation enable an integer underflow and consequently an unbounded
buffer operation. A maliciously crafted stream could thus enable an
attacker to execute arbitrary code.

No Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifier is available for
this issue.

For the stable distribution (lenny), this problem has been fixed in version
1.0~rc2-17+lenny3.2.

We recommend that you upgrade your mplayer packages.

Upgrade instructions
- --------------------

wget url
will fetch the file for you
dpkg -i file.deb
will install the referenced file.

If you are using the apt-get package manager, use the line for
sources.list as given below:

apt-get update
will update the internal database
apt-get upgrade
will install corrected packages

You may use an automated update by adding the resources from the
footer to the proper configuration.
