Advisories MDKSA-2007:055: Updated mplayer packages to address buffer overflow vulnerability

[paul]

The DMO_VideoDecoder_Open function in loader/dmo/DMO_VideoDecoder.c

in MPlayer 1.0rc1 and earlier does not set the biSize before use in a

memcpy, which allows user-assisted remote attackers to cause a buffer

overflow and possibly execute arbitrary code.

 

Updated packages have been patched to address this issue.
