SA23272

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/23272/

CRITICAL:
Highly critical

IMPACT:
System access

WHERE:
>From remote

SOFTWARE:
Nostra DivX Player 2.x
http://secunia.com/product/12840/

DESCRIPTION:
Parvez Anwar has discovered a vulnerability in Nostra DivX Player,
which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's
system.

The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error when loading M3U
playlist files containing an overly long string  (greater than 33200
bytes). This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow
via a specially crafted playlist file.

Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code.

The vulnerability is confirmed in version 2.1 and has also been
reported in version 2.2.00.0. Other versions may also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Do not open untrusted playlists.

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
