Description:
Two vulnerabilities have been reported in MPlayer, which potentially can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system.
1) A boundary error when processing lines from RealMedia RTSP streams can be exploited to cause a heap-based buffer overflow via a specially crafted response with a large amount of lines.
Successful exploitation may allow execution of arbitrary code.
2) A boundary error when processing stream IDs from Microsoft Media Services MMST streams can be exploited to cause a heap-based buffer overflow via a specially crafted response with more than 20 stream IDs.
Successful exploitation may allow execution of arbitrary code.
The vulnerabilities have been reported in versions 1.0pre6 and prior.
Solution:
Update to version 1.0pre7.
