    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.
