Description:

iDEFENSE and the MPlayer Team have found multiple vulnerabilities in MPlayer:

• Potential heap overflow in Real RTSP streaming code
• Potential stack overflow in MMST streaming code
• Multiple buffer overflows in BMP demuxer

These vulnerabilities could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code as the user running MPlayer. The problem in the pnm streaming code also affects xine.
