    descriptionThe remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200707-07 (MPlayer: Multiple buffer overflows) Stefan Cornelius and Reimar Doffinger of Secunia Research discovered several boundary errors in the functions cddb_query_parse(), cddb_parse_matches_list() and cddb_read_parse(), each allowing for a stack-based buffer overflow. Impact : A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted file with malicious CDDB entries, possibly resulting in the execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running MPlayer. Workaround : There is no known workaround at this time.
