MPlayer: Buffer overflow Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200702-11 (MPlayer: Buffer overflow) When checking for matching asm rules in the asmrp.c code, the results are stored in a fixed-size array without boundary checks which may permit a buffer overflow. Impact A possible hacker can entice a user to connect to a manipulated RTSP server resulting in a Denial of Service and possibly execution of arbitrary code. Workaround There is no known workaround at this time.
