Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
The MPlayer Project version 1.5
Description
A heap use-after-free issue in the preinit function at libvo/vo v4l2.c can result in a double free, leading to a Denial of Service (DoS) via a crafted file. The
device variable, which is assigned using strdup, is not executed on every call. This issue has been disputed by third parties as invalid and not reproducible.Recommendations
For version 1.5, consider restricting the use of crafted files to minimize the risk of exploitation. As a temporary workaround, review the code to ensure proper execution of the
device=strdup statement. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this issue.Exploit
