Preth00nker has discovered a vulnerability in AtomixMP3, 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 the mp3atabase.txt file when using the "Search" button. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow via an overly long (greater than 512 bytes) string as the contents of the said file.

Successful exploitation requires that a user is tricked into e.g. overwriting or copying a malicious mp3database.txt file into the AtomixMP3 folder and double-clicking on the malicious entry within the "Search" display.

The vulnerability is confirmed in version 2.3. Other versions may also be affected.

Solution
Do not overwrite or copy untrusted mp3database.txt files into the AtomixMP3 folder.
