MPlayer SAMI Subtitle File Buffer Overflow

Description

This module exploits a stack-based buffer overflow found in the handling
of SAMI subtitles files in MPlayer SVN Versions before 33471. It currently
targets SMPlayer 0.6.8, which is distributed with a vulnerable version of MPlayer.

The overflow is triggered when an unsuspecting victim opens a movie file first,
followed by loading the malicious SAMI subtitles file from the GUI. Or, it can also
be done from the console with the MPlayer "-sub" option.
