There's a 1.0-pre version in portage, although it's ~x86.

Description:
A remotely exploitable buffer overflow vulnerability was found in MPlayer. A malicious host can craft a harmful ASX header, and trick MPlayer into executing arbitrary code upon parsing that header.

MPlayer versions affected:
MPlayer 0.90pre series
MPlayer 0.90rc series
MPlayer 0.90
MPlayer 0.91
MPlayer 1.0pre1

MPlayer versions unaffected:
MPlayer releases before 0.90pre1
MPlayer 0.92
MPlayer HEAD CVS


MPlayer 1.0pre1 also has the buffer overflow vulnerability...
either get patch, 0.92 or cvs version
