CVE-2004-1311

High
Published: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

An integer overflow in the real_setup_and_get_header function in real.c for Unix MPlayer 1.0pre5 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a Real RTSP streaming media file with a -1 content-length field, which leads to a heap-based buffer overflow.

Risk Assessment

The risk includes potential remote code execution by an attacker, which could lead to system compromise or service disruption through application crash.

Recommendation

It is recommended to immediately update MPlayer to a version later than 1.0pre5 that includes a fix for this vulnerability. If an update is not possible, restrict access to RTSP streams from untrusted sources.
