Description:
c0ntex has reported a vulnerability in MPlayer, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system.
The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error within the "TranslateFilename()" function. This can be exploited to cause a buffer overflow via e.g. a specially crafted m3u file.
Successful exploitation requires that MPlayer has been compiled with GUI support and a user can be tricked into connecting to a malicious service.
The vulnerability reportedly affects version 1.0pre4 and prior.
