Summary
mplayer vulnerabilities
Details
It was discovered that MPlayer could be made to divide by zero when processing certain malformed media files. If a user were tricked into opening a specially crafted media file, an attacker could possibly use this issue to cause MPlayer to crash, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2022-38850, CVE-2022-38860, CVE-2022-38865)
It was discovered that MPlayer could be made to read out of bounds when processing certain malformed media files. If a user were tricked into opening a specially crafted media file, an attacker could possibly use this issue to cause MPlayer to crash, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2022-38851)
It was discovered that MPlayer could be made to write out of bounds when processing certain malformed media files. If a user were tricked into opening a specially crafted media file, an attacker could possibly use this issue to cause MPlayer to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2022-38855, CVE-2022-38858, CVE-2022-38863, CVE-2022-38864, CVE-2022-38866)
It was discovered that MPlayer did not properly managed memory when processing certain malformed media files. If a user were tricked into opening a specially crafted media file, an attacker could possibly use this issue to cause MPlayer to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2022-38861)

The MITRE ATT&CK techniques below are AI-generated suggestions, inferred from the description of the
vulnerability by the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-classification-roberta-base
model, served locally by ML-Gateway.
They have not been verified by an analyst and are provided for guidance only.
The approach is described in our paper Mapping CVEs to MITRE ATT&CK Techniques: A Curated Gold-Set Classifier and the Limits of LLM-Assisted Label Expansion.
