Description:
Sean de Regge has reported a vulnerability in iTunes, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system.
The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error within the handling of .m3u and .pls playlists. This can be exploited to cause a buffer overflow via a specially crafted playlist containing an overly long URL.
Successful exploitation may allow execution of arbitrary code.
