This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability in MPlayer. Specifically, the vulnerability is due a stack buffer overflow when reading a long caption from a SAMI subtitle file. A remote, unauthenticated attacker could exploit this vulnerability by enticing a target user to download a crafted SAMI file, resulting in the execution of arbitrary code in the security context of the target user.
