## Description

Multiple integer underflows in the Real demuxer (demux\_real.c) in MPlayer
1.0\_rc2 and earlier allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service
(process termination) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted
video file that causes the stream\_read function to read or write arbitrary
memory.
