The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200803-16 (MPlayer: Multiple buffer overflows)

    The following errors have been discovered in MPlayer:
    Felipe Manzano and Anibal Sacco (Core Security Technologies)     reported an array indexing error in the file libmpdemux/demux_mov.c     when parsing MOV file headers (CVE-2008-0485).
    Damian Frizza     and Alfredo Ortega (Core Security Technologies) reported a boundary     error in the file libmpdemux/demux_audio.c when parsing FLAC comments     (CVE-2008-0486).
    Adam Bozanich (Mu Security) reported boundary     errors in the cddb_parse_matches_list() and cddb_query_parse()     functions in the file stream_cddb.c when parsing CDDB album titles     (CVE-2008-0629) and in the url_scape_string() function in the file     stream/url.c when parsing URLS (CVE-2008-0630).
  Impact :

    A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted file,     possibly resulting in the execution of arbitrary code with the     privileges of the user running MPlayer.
  Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time.

Heap-based buffer overflow in the rmff_dump_cont function in input/libreal/rmff.c in xine-lib 1.1.9 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via the SDP Abstract attribute, related to the rmff_dump_header function and related to disregarding the max field. Although originally a xine-lib issue, also affects MPlayer due to code similarity. (CVE-2008-0225)

Multiple heap-based buffer overflows in the rmff_dump_cont function in input/libreal/rmff.c in xine-lib 1.1.9 allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via the SDP (1) Title, (2) Author, or (3) Copyright attribute, related to the rmff_dump_header function, different vectors than CVE-2008-0225. Although originally a xine-lib issue, also affects MPlayer due to code similarity. (CVE-2008-0238)

Array index error in libmpdemux/demux_mov.c in MPlayer 1.0 rc2 and earlier might allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a QuickTime MOV file with a crafted stsc atom tag. (CVE-2008-0485)

Array index vulnerability in libmpdemux/demux_audio.c in MPlayer 1.0rc2 and SVN before r25917, and possibly earlier versions, as used in Xine-lib 1.1.10, might allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted FLAC tag, which triggers a buffer overflow.
(CVE-2008-0486)

Buffer overflow in stream_cddb.c in MPlayer 1.0rc2 and SVN before r25824 allows remote user-assisted attackers to execute arbitrary code via a CDDB database entry containing a long album title.
(CVE-2008-0629)

Buffer overflow in url.c in MPlayer 1.0rc2 and SVN before r25823 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted URL that prevents the IPv6 parsing code from setting a pointer to NULL, which causes the buffer to be reused by the unescape code.
(CVE-2008-0630)

The updated packages have been patched to prevent these issues.

An array index vulnerability found in the FLAC audio demuxer might allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted FLAC tag, which triggers a buffer overflow. Although originally an MPlayer issue, it also affects xine-lib due to code similarity.

The updated packages have been patched to prevent this issue.

Update :

The previous update used a bad patch which made Amarok interface very unresponsive while playing FLAC files. This new update fixes the security issue with a better patch.

The Mplayer team reports :

A buffer overflow was found in the code used to extract album titles from CDDB server answers. When parsing answers from the CDDB server, the album title is copied into a fixed-size buffer with insufficient size checks, which may cause a buffer overflow. A malicious database entry could trigger a buffer overflow in the program. That can lead to arbitrary code execution with the UID of the user running MPlayer.

A buffer overflow was found in the code used to escape URL strings.
The code used to skip over IPv6 addresses can be tricked into leaving a pointer to a temporary buffer with a non-NULL value; this causes the unescape code to reuse the buffer, and may lead to a buffer overflow if the old buffer is smaller than required. A malicious URL string may be used to trigger a buffer overflow in the program, that can lead to arbitrary code execution with the UID of the user running MPlayer.

A buffer overflow was found in the code used to parse MOV file headers. The code read some values from the file and used them as indexes into as array allocated on the heap without performing any boundary check. A malicious file may be used to trigger a buffer overflow in the program. That can lead to arbitrary code execution with the UID of the user running MPlayer.

Several buffer overflows have been discovered in the MPlayer movie player, which might lead to the execution of arbitrary code. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems :

  - CVE-2008-0485     Felipe Manzano and Anibal Sacco discovered a buffer     overflow in the demuxer for MOV files.

  - CVE-2008-0486     Reimar Doeffinger discovered a buffer overflow in the     FLAC header parsing.

  - CVE-2008-0629     Adam Bozanich discovered a buffer overflow in the CDDB     access code.

  - CVE-2008-0630     Adam Bozanich discovered a buffer overflow in URL     parsing.
