+ MPlayer is a media player capable of handling multiple multimedia file
+ formats.

+ <description>
+ <p>
+ MPlayer makes use of the FFmpeg library, which is vulnerable to a heap
+ overflow in the avcodec_default_get_buffer() function discovered by
+ Simon Kilvington (see GLSA 200601-06). Furthermore, AFI Security
+ Research discovered two integer overflows in ASF file format decoding,
+ in the new_demux_packet() function from libmpdemux/demuxer.h and the
+ demux_asf_read_packet() function from libmpdemux/demux_asf.c.
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>
+ An attacker could craft a malicious media file which, when opened using
+ MPlayer, would lead to a heap-based buffer overflow. This could result
+ in the execution of arbitrary code with the permissions of the user
+ running MPlayer.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All MPlayer users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=media-video/mplayer-1.0.20060217"</code>
