Bug Description

Binary package hint: mplayer

Only appears to affect 1.0rc1 (ie. Feisty). Arbitrary code execution is possible, with a malicious entry on the server. There is an upstream patch, and I'll have a debdiff for Feisty shortly.

Thanks for the debdiff! This has built and been published. I'll keep an eye on LP and see if security uploads get auto-closed too. I think it won't since this is in a subtask.
