Vulnerability fixes

Multiple vulnerabilities were discovered in MPlayer by iDEFENSE, and =20
more were
found by us while reviewing the code:

   * potential heap overflow in Real rtsp streaming code
   * potential stack overflow in mmst streaming code
   * multiple buffer overflows in bmp demuxer
   * potential heap overflow in pnm streaming code
   * potential buffer overflow in mp3lib

All issues affect both pre5 and CVS version.
0.93 version is obsolete and was not checked nor fixed.

All problems were fixed, and the bmp demuxer was also disabled because =20
it's
useless and requires further analysis to be totally safe.

   * pre5 users: upgrade to pre5try2 or apply the cumulative patch
   * CVS users: cvs update

An updated build from CVS is also available for Windows users at
