+ <description>
+ <p>
+ Sven Tantau discovered a heap overflow in the code handling the
+ strf chunk of PCM audio streams.
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>
+ An attacker 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.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ You can mitigate the issue by adding "ac=-pcm," to your MPlayer
+ configuration file (note that this will prevent you from playing
+ uncompressed audio).
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All MPlayer users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=media-video/mplayer-1.0_pre7-r1"</code>
