[GLSA-200509-01] MPlayer: Heap overflow in ad_pcm.c |
||
MPlayer: Heap overflow in ad_pcm.c Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200509-01 (MPlayer: Heap overflow in ad_pcm.c) Sven Tantau discovered a heap overflow in the code handling the strf chunk of PCM audio streams. Impact A possible hacker could craft a malicious video or audio file which, when opened using MPlayer, would end up executing arbitrary code on the victim's computer with the permissions of the user running MPlayer. Workaround You can mitigate the issue by adding "ac=-pcm," to your MPlayer configuration file (note that this will prevent you from playing uncompressed audio).
