Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.58109
Category:Mandrake Local Security Checks
Title:Mandrake Security Advisory MDKSA-2007:061 (mplayer)
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:

The remote host is missing an update to mplayer
announced via advisory MDKSA-2007:061.

The DS_VideoDecoder_Open function in loader/dshow/DS_VideoDecoder.c
in MPlayer 1.0rc1 and earlier does not set the biSize before use in a
memcpy, which allows user-assisted remote attackers to cause a buffer
overflow and possibly execute arbitrary code.

Updated packages have been patched to address this issue.

Affected: 2007.0, Corporate 3.0

Solution:
To upgrade automatically use MandrakeUpdate or urpmi. The verification
of md5 checksums and GPG signatures is performed automatically for you.
