    <p>
    MPlayer is a media player capable of handling multiple multimedia file
    formats.
    </p>

  <description>
    <p>
    Heap overflows have been found in the code handling RealMedia RTSP and
    Microsoft Media Services streams over TCP (MMST).
    </p>
  </description>
  <impact type="normal">
    <p>
    By setting up a malicious server and enticing a user to use its
    streaming data, a remote attacker could possibly execute arbitrary code
    on the client computer with the permissions of the user running
    MPlayer.
    </p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>
    There is no known workaround at this time.
    </p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>
    All MPlayer users should upgrade to the latest version:
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=media-video/mplayer-1.0_pre6-r4"</code>
  </resolution>
