ZhenHan.Liu has discovered some vulnerabilities in Baofeng Storm, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system.

1) A boundary error in sparser.dll can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow via e.g. an overly long (greater than 260 bytes) string passed as argument to the "rawParse()" and "advancedOpen()" methods and "URL" property within the MPS.StormPlayer.1 ActiveX control (mps.dll), or via a specially crafted .SMPL file containing an overly long (greater than 260 bytes) "path" string.

2) A boundary error within the MPS.StormPlayer.1 ActiveX control (mps.dll) when handling the "isDVDPath()" method can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow via an overly long (greater than 260 bytes) string passed as argument to the affected method.

3) Boundary errors within the MPS.StormPlayer.1 ActiveX control (mps.dll) when handling the "backImage()" and "titleImage()" properties can be exploited to cause heap-based buffer overflows by assigning an overly long (greater than 260 bytes) string to the affected properties.

Successful exploitation of the vulnerabilities allow execution of arbitrary code.

The vulnerabilities are confirmed in version 2.8. Other versions may also be affected.

Solution
Set the kill-bit for the affected ActiveX control and do not open untrusted .SMPL files.
