CVE Id(s) : CVE-2008-0485 CVE-2008-0486 CVE-2008-0629 CVE-2008-0630
Several buffer overflows have been discovered in the MPlayer movie player,
which might lead to the execution of arbitrary code. The Common
Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems:
CVE-2008-0485
Felipe Manzano and Anibal Sacco discovered a buffer overflow in
the demuxer for MOV files.
CVE-2008-0486

parsing.
