TITLE:
XMPlay M3U Playlist Parsing Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA22999

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/22999/

CRITICAL:
Highly critical

IMPACT:
System access

WHERE:
>From remote

SOFTWARE:
XMPlay 3.x
http://secunia.com/product/12685/

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 M3U playlists 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 M3U 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:
Do not load playlists from untrusted sources.

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
Greg Linares
