(MPlayer: Heap overflow in ad_pcm.c)
Sven Tantau discovered a heap overflow in the code handling the
strf chunk of PCM audio streams.
Impact
An attacker could craft a malicious video or audio file which,
when opened using MPlayer, would end up executing arbitrary code on the
victim\'s computer with the permissions of the user running MPlayer.
Workaround
You can mitigate the issue by adding "ac=-pcm," to your MPlayer
configuration file (note that this will prevent you from playing
uncompressed audio).

http://www.sven-tantau.de/public_files/mplayer/mplayer_20050824.txt
Solution:
All MPlayer users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=media-video/mplayer-1.0_pre7-r1"
Risk factor : Medium
