Mandrakelinux Security Update Advisory

Package name: mplayer
Advisory ID: MDKSA-2004:026
Date: April 5th, 2004
Affected versions: 10.0, 9.2

Problem Description:

A remotely exploitable buffer overflow vulnerability was found
in MPlayer. A malicious host can craft a harmful HTTP header
(“Location:”), and trick MPlayer into executing arbitrary code upon
parsing that header.

The updated packages contain a patch from the MPlayer
development team to correct the problem.
