Base vector

AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions MPlayer versions 1.0 rc2 and earlier

Description The issue is related to multiple integer underflows in the Real demuxer, which can be exploited by remote attackers using a crafted video file. This exploitation can lead to a denial of service, causing the process to terminate, and potentially allow the execution of arbitrary code. The stream read function is affected, allowing it to read or write arbitrary memory.

Recommendations For MPlayer versions 1.0 rc2 and earlier, consider updating to a newer version that addresses these integer underflows as a permanent solution. As a temporary workaround, restrict the use of the Real demuxer to minimize the risk of exploitation. Avoid using the affected stream read function until the issue is resolved.
