high Nessus Plugin ID 34327

Synopsis

The remote FreeBSD host is missing one or more security-related updates.

Description

The oCERT team reports :

The MPlayer multimedia player suffers from a vulnerability which could result in arbitrary code execution and at the least, in unexpected process termination. Three integer underflows located in the Real demuxer code can be used to exploit a heap overflow, a specific video file can be crafted in order to make the stream_read function reading or writing arbitrary amounts of memory.

Solution

Update the affected packages.
