Discussion

MPlayer and VLC Player Real Data Transport Remote Integer Underflow Vulnerability

MPlayer and VLC Player are prone to a remote integer-underflow vulnerability because they fail to properly bounds-check user-supplied input.

Successful exploits allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary machine code in the context of the vulnerable application. Failed exploit attempts likely cause denial-of-service conditions.

The following are vulnerable:

MPlayer 1.0rc2 and prior.
VLC Player 1.0.0 and prior.
