This can be exploited to corrupt memory via a specially crafted FLAC file. 2) An array indexing error exists within the libmpdemux/demux_mov.c file when parsing MOV file headers. This can be exploited to corrupt heap memory via a specially crafted MOV file. 3) A boundary error exists within the "url_scape_string()" function in stream/url.c. This can be exploited to cause a buffer overflow via a specially crafted URL. Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code. The vulnerabilities are reported in version 1.0rc2. Prior versions may also be affected. SOLUTION: Apply vendor patches. http://www.mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/patches/url_fix_20080120.diff http://www.mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/patches/demux_mov_fix_20080129.diff http://www.mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/patches/demux_audio_fix_20080129.diff PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY: 1) Damian Frizza and Alfredo Ortega, Core Security Technologies 2) Felipe Manzano and Anibal Sacco, Core Security Technologies 3) The vendor credits Adam Bozanich of Musecurity.
