CVE-2005-2718
Buffer overflow in ad_pcm.c in MPlayer 1.0pre7 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via crafted PCM audio data, as demonstrated using a video file with an audio header containing a large value in a stream format (strf) chunk.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (3.26%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
