Mplayer Team · Mplayer · CVE-2008-0630
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
MPlayer versions 1.0rc2 and prior to SVN r25823
**Description**
The issue is related to a buffer overflow in the url.c file, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted URL. This occurs because the IPv6 parsing code fails to set a pointer to NULL, causing the buffer to be reused by the unescape code.
**Recommendations**
For MPlayer versions 1.0rc2 and prior to SVN r25823, update to a version after SVN r25823 to resolve the issue.
