Description:
Greg Linares has discovered a vulnerability in XMPlay, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system.
The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error within the parsing of playlists (.m3u, .pls, and .asx) containing an overly long file name (greater than 500 bytes). This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow via a specially crafted playlist file.
Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code.
The vulnerability is confirmed in version 3.3.0.5. Other versions may also be affected.
Solution:
Update to version 3.3.0.6.
Provided and/or discovered by:
Greg Linares
Changelog:
2006-11-22: Added information about PLS and ASX files also being affected.
2006-11-28: Added CVE reference.
2006-12-14: Updated "Solution" section.
