Debian DLA-457-1 : mplayer security update

medium Nessus Plugin ID 90895

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

Mplayer is crashing when playing a fuzzed gif file. The gif demuxes assumes in many places that width*height is <= INT_MAX; this might not be true. Fixed by validating the picture size.

NOTE: Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the DLA security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Upgrade the affected packages.
