    MPlayer is a media player incuding support for a wide range of audio
    and video formats.

  <description>
    <p>
    Stefan Cornelius and Reimar Doffinger of Secunia Research discovered
    several boundary errors in the functions cddb_query_parse(),
    cddb_parse_matches_list() and cddb_read_parse(), each allowing for a
    stack-based buffer overflow.
    </p>
  </description>
  <impact type="normal">
    <p>
    A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted file
    with malicious CDDB entries, possibly resulting in the execution of
    arbitrary code with the privileges 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-1.0.20070622"</code>
  </resolution>
