Detail

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.

Title: USN-734-1 -- ffmpeg, ffmpeg-debian vulnerabilities
Description: It was discovered that FFmpeg did not correctly handle certain malformed Ogg Media files. If a user were tricked into opening a crafted Ogg Media file, an attacker could cause the application using FFmpeg to crash, leading to a denial of service. It was discovered that FFmpeg did not correctly handle certain parameters when creating DTS streams. If a user were tricked into processing certain commands, an attacker could cause a denial of service via application crash, or possibly execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user invoking the program. This issue only affected Ubuntu 8.10. It was discovered that FFmpeg did not correctly handle certain malformed DTS Coherent Acoustics files. If a user were tricked into opening a crafted DCA file, an attacker could cause a denial of service via application crash, or possibly execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user invoking the program. It was discovered that FFmpeg did not correctly handle certain malformed 4X movie files. If a user were tricked into opening a crafted 4xm file, an attacker could execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user invoking the program
