  <impact type="normal">
    <p>
    A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted video
    file, potentially resulting in the execution of arbitrary code with the
    privileges of the user running MPlayer.
    </p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>
    There is no known workaround at this time.
    </p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>
    All MPlayer users should upgrade to the latest version:
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=media-video/mplayer-1.0.20070321"</code>
