The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200408-01 (MPlayer: GUI filename handling overflow)

The MPlayer GUI code contains several buffer overflow vulnerabilities,     and at least one in the TranslateFilename() function is exploitable.

Impact :

By enticing a user to play a file with a carefully crafted filename an     attacker could execute arbitrary code with the permissions of the user     running MPlayer.

Workaround :

To work around this issue, users can compile MPlayer without GUI     support by disabling the gtk USE flag. All users are encouraged to     upgrade to the latest available version of MPlayer.
