 Package : mplayer Version : 2:1.3.0-8+deb10u1 CVE ID : CVE-2022-38850 CVE-2022-38851 CVE-2022-38855 CVE-2022-38858 CVE-2022-38860 CVE-2022-38861 CVE-2022-38863 CVE-2022-38864 CVE-2022-38865 CVE-2022-38866


 Several issues have been found in mplayer, a movie player for Unix-like systems.
 They are basically related to buffer overflows, divide by zero or out of bounds read in different parts of the code.



 For Debian 10 buster, these problems have been fixed in version 2:1.3.0-8+deb10u1.

 We recommend that you upgrade your mplayer packages.

 For the detailed security status of mplayer please refer to its security tracker page at:
 https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/mplayer

 Further information about Debian LTS security advisories, how to apply these updates to your system and frequently asked questions can be found at: https://wiki.debian.org/LTS

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Debian security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade the mencoder packages.
