    descriptionThe Mplayer team reports : A potential buffer overflow was found in the ASF demuxer. Arbitrary remote code execution is possible (under the user ID running the player) when streaming an ASF file from a malicious server or local code execution (under the user ID running the player) if a malicious ASF file is played locally.

    titleFreeBSD : mplayer -- heap overflow in the ASF demuxer (104beb63-af4d-11da-8414-0013d4a4a40e)
  • NASL familyGentoo Local Security Checks
    NASL idGENTOO_GLSA-200603-03.NASL
    descriptionThe remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200603-03 (MPlayer: Multiple integer overflows) 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. Impact : 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. Workaround : There is no known workaround at this time.
