MPlayer DMO File Parsing Buffer Overflow Vulnerability
MPlayer is prone to a buffer-overflow vulnerability when it attempts to process malformed video files. This issue occurs because the application fails to perform proper bounds-checking on user-supplied data before copying it to an insufficiently sized memory buffer. An attacker may exploit this issue to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user that activated the vulnerable application. This may facilitate unauthorized access or privilege escalation. MPlayer 1.0rc1 is vulnerable to this issue; previous versions may also be affected. |
