Description:
Parvez Anwar has discovered a vulnerability in Sony CONNECT Player (SonicStage), which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system.
The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error when processing M3U playlist files. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow via a specially crafted playlist file containing an overly long file name (greater than 1000 characters).
Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code.
The vulnerability is confirmed in version 4.3. Other versions may also be affected.
Solution:
Do not open untrusted playlist files.
