MPlayer 1.0rc2 TwinVQ Stack Buffer Overflow PoC
MPlayer 1.0rc2 is vulnerable to a stack buffer overflow when processing a specially crafted TwinVQ (.vqf) file. This vulnerability can be exploited by an attacker to execute arbitrary code on the vulnerable system. The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error when copying data from the TwinVQ file into a fixed-length buffer on the stack. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow by supplying a specially crafted TwinVQ file with an overly long header field.
Mitigation:
Upgrade to the latest version of MPlayer 1.0rc2 or later.
