+ "MPlayer is a movie player for LINUX (runs on many other Unices, and
+ non-x86 CPUs, see the documentation). It plays most MPEG, VOB, AVI,
+ OGG/OGM, VIVO, ASF/WMA/WMV, QT/MOV/MP4, FLI, RM, NuppelVideo, YUV4MPEG,
+ FILM, RoQ, PVA files, supported by many native, XAnim, and Win32 DLL
+ codecs. You can watch VideoCD, SVCD, DVD, 3ivx, DivX 3/4/5 and even WMV
+ movies, too."

+ <p>
+ A vulnerability exists in the MPlayer HTTP parser which may allow an
+ attacker to craft a special HTTP header ("Location:") which will trick
+ MPlayer into executing arbitrary code on the user's computer.
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="high">
+ <p>
+ An attacker without privileges may exploit this vulnerability remotely,
+ allowing arbitrary code to be executed in order to gain unauthorized
+ access.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ A workaround is not currently known for this issue. All users are
+ advised to upgrade to the latest version of the affected package.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ MPlayer may be upgraded as follows:
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ x86 and SPARC users should:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge sync
+
+ # emerge -pv "&gt;=media-video/mplayer-0.92-r1"
+ # emerge "&gt;=media-video/mplayer-0.92-r1"</code>
+ <p>
+ AMD64 users should:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge sync
+
+ # emerge -pv "&gt;=media-video/mplayer-1.0_pre2-r1"
+ # emerge "&gt;=media-video/mplayer-1.0_pre2-r1"</code>
+ <p>
+ PPC users should:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge sync
+
+ # emerge -pv "&gt;=media-video/mplayer-1.0_pre3-r2"
+ # emerge "&gt;=media-video/mplayer-1.0_pre3-r2"</code>
