CVE ID : CVE-2006-1502
Rated as : High Risk 
Remotely Exploitable : Yes

Release Date : 2006-03-29
|
Two vulnerabilities were identified in MPlayer, which could be exploited by remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands or cause a denial of service.
The first issue is due to an integer overflow error in the "libmpdemux/asfheader.c" that fails to properly handle a specially crafted "asf" file, which could be exploited by remote attackers to compromise a vulnerable system by convincing a user to open a malicious ASF file.
The second vulnerability is due to an integer overflow error in the "libmpdemux/aviheader.c" file that does not properly handle a malformed "AVI" file, which could be exploited by malicious web sites to execute arbitrary commands via a specially crafted AVI file.
