+  <title>MPlayer: GUI filename handling overflow</title>
+  <synopsis>
+    When compiled with GUI support MPlayer is vulnerable to a remotely

+    <p>
+    MPlayer is a media player capable of handling multiple multimedia file
+    formats.
+    </p>

+  <description>
+    <p>
+    The MPlayer GUI code contains several buffer overflow vulnerabilities,
+    and at least one in the TranslateFilename() function is exploitable.
+    </p>
+  </description>
+  <impact type="normal">
+    <p>
+    By enticing a user to play a file with a carefully crafted filename an
+    attacker could execute arbitrary code with the permissions of the user
+    running MPlayer.
+    </p>
+  </impact>
+  <workaround>
+    <p>
+    To work around this issue, users can compile MPlayer without GUI
+    support by disabling the gtk USE flag. All users are encouraged to
+    upgrade to the latest available version of MPlayer.
+    </p>
+  </workaround>
+  <resolution>
+    <p>
+    All MPlayer users should upgrade to the latest version:
+    </p>
