GLSA-200805-22 : MPlayer: User-assisted execution of arbitrary code

critical Nessus Plugin ID 32490

Synopsis

The remote Gentoo host is missing one or more security-related patches.

Description

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200805-22 (MPlayer: User-assisted execution of arbitrary code)

 k`sOSe reported an integer overflow vulnerability in the sdpplin_parse() function in the file stream/realrtsp/sdpplin.c, which can be exploited to overwrite arbitrary memory regions via an overly large 'StreamCount' SDP parameter.
 Impact :

 A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted media file, 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.

Solution

All MPlayer users should upgrade to the latest version:
 # emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose '>=media-video/mplayer-1.0_rc2_p26753'
