Mandriva Advisories MDKSA-2006:068 : mplayer

 

Updated mplayer packages fix integer overflow vulnerabilities

April 7th, 2006

 

Multiple integer overflows in MPlayer 1.0pre7try2 allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service and trigger heap-based buffer overflows via (1) a certain ASF file handled by asfheader.c that causes the asf_descrambling function to be passed a negative integer after the conversion from a char to an int or (2) an AVI file with a crafted wLongsPerEntry or nEntriesInUse value in the indx chunk, which is handled in aviheader.c. The updated packages have been patched to prevent this problem.

 

 

The released versions of Mandriva GNU/Linux affected are:

• CS3.0
  
• 2006.0
