Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'mplayer' package(s) announced via the DSA-1644-1 advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
Felipe Andres Manzano discovered that mplayer, a multimedia player, is vulnerable to several integer overflows in the Real video stream demuxing code. These flaws could allow an attacker to cause a denial of service (a crash) or potentially execution of arbitrary code by supplying a maliciously crafted video file.

For the stable distribution (etch), these problems have been fixed in version 1.0~
rc1-12etch5.

For the unstable distribution (sid), these problems have been fixed in version 1.0~
rc2-18.

We recommend that you upgrade your mplayer packages.

Affected Software/OS:
'mplayer' package(s) on Debian 4.

Solution:
Please install the updated package(s).
