Multiple integer overflows in MPlayer 1.0pre7try2 allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service and trigger heap-based buffer overflows via (1) a certain ASF file handled by asfheader.c that causes the asf_descrambling function to be passed a negative integer after the conversion from a char to an int or (2) an AVI file with a crafted wLongsPerEntry or nEntriesInUse value in the indx chunk, which is handled in aviheader.c.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2006-1502 is a legacy MPlayer issue where specially crafted ASF or AVI media files can crash the player and may corrupt heap memory. Business risk is mainly in environments that still process untrusted media with MPlayer 1.0pre7try2 or derived legacy packages. Exposure is limited to legacy MPlayer 1.0pre7try2 installations or packages that still include the vulnerable code. Workstations, media gateways, thumbnailers, or batch transcoders that open untrusted ASF or AVI files are the most relevant assets to check. Treat this as a legacy exposure cleanup item unless vulnerable media-processing systems remain internet-facing or ingest third-party files. Prioritize remediation where untrusted media is automatically parsed, because a single malicious file could disrupt processing and potentially trigger memory corruption. Mitigation focus: Inventory systems using MPlayer, especially version 1.0pre7try2 or old distro packages.; Review Gentoo, Mandriva, and current OS vendor advisories for fixed package guidance.; Update or replace vulnerable MPlayer builds through supported package channels..
