Package : mplayer
Vulnerability : several vulnerabilities
Problem type : local (remote)
Debian-specific: no
CVE Ids : CVE-2009-0385 CVE-2008-4866 CVE-2008-5616
Debian Bug : 508803

Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in mplayer, a movie player
for Unix-like systems. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project
identifies the following problems:

CVE-2009-0385

It was discovered that watching a malformed 4X movie file could lead to
the execution of arbitrary code.

CVE-2008-4866

It was discovered that multiple buffer overflows could lead to the
execution of arbitrary code.

CVE-2008-5616

It was discovered that watching a malformed TwinVQ file could lead to
the execution of arbitrary code.

For the oldstable distribution (etch), these problems have been fixed
in version 1.0~rc1-12etch7.

For the stable distribution (lenny), mplayer links against
ffmpeg-debian.

For the testing distribution (squeeze) and the unstable distribution
(sid), mplayer links against ffmpeg-debian.

We recommend that you upgrade your mplayer packages.
