CVE-2008-4610

Published: 20 October 2008

MPlayer allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via (1) a malformed AAC file, as demonstrated by lol-vlc.aac; or (2) a malformed Ogg Media (OGM) file, as demonstrated by lol-ffplay.ogm, different vectors than CVE-2007-6718.

First issue is the same as CVE-2008-5244, but for mplayer
The ogm issue is a ffmpeg problem. Just a crasher.
sbeattie
according to debian, first issue is actually a crash in
libfaad2, though earlier mplayer didn't link against system libfaad2
examining packages, 2:1.0~rc4.dfsg1+svn33713-1 appears to
be the first one that links against system libfaad
