Test ID:	1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.55984
Category:	Mandrake Local Security Checks
Title:	Mandrake Security Advisory MDKSA-2005:230 (mplayer)
Summary:	Mandrake Security Advisory MDKSA-2005:230 (mplayer)
Description:	The remote host is missing an update to mplayer announced via advisory MDKSA-2005:230. Simon Kilvington discovered a vulnerability in FFmpeg libavcodec, which can be exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS (Denial of Service) and potentially to compromise a user's system. The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error in the avcodec_default_get_buffer() function of utils.c in libavcodec. This can be exploited to cause a heap-based buffer overflow when a specially-crafted 1x1 .png file containing a palette is read. Mplayer is built with a private copy of ffmpeg containing this same code. The updated packages have been patched to prevent this problem. Affected: 2006.0, Corporate 3.0 Solution: To upgrade automatically use MandrakeUpdate or urpmi. The verification of md5 checksums and GPG signatures is performed automatically for you. http://www.securityspace.com/smysecure/catid.html?in=MDKSA-2005:230 Risk factor : High
