Mandriva Advisories MDKSA-2006:048 : mplayer

 

Updated mplayer packages fix integer overflow vulnerabilities

February 24th, 2006

 

Multiple integer overflows in (1) the new_demux_packet function in demuxer.h and (2) the demux_asf_read_packet function in demux_asf.c in MPlayer 1.0pre7try2 and earlier allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via an ASF file with a large packet length value. The updated packages have been patched to prevent this problem.

 

 

The released versions of Mandriva GNU/Linux affected are:

• CS3.0
  
• 2006.0
