TITLE:
CoolPlayer Skin Long Key Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA23360

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/23360/

CRITICAL:
Moderately critical

IMPACT:
System access

WHERE:
>From remote

SOFTWARE:
CoolPlayer 2.x
http://secunia.com/product/12892/

DESCRIPTION:
Mehdi Oudad and Kevin Fernandez have discovered a vulnerability in
CoolPlayer, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise
a user's system.

The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error within the
"main_skin_check_ini_value()" function in skin.c. This can be
exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow by specifying an
overly long string (more than 1024 bytes) as a key in the INI file of
the skin.

Successful exploitation may allow execution of arbitrary code.

Buffer overflows are also reported to occur within
"CPL_AddPrefixedFile()" function in CPI_Playlist.c and
"main_skin_open()" function in skin.c.

The vulnerability is confirmed in version 2.16. Other versions may
also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Do not load untrusted skins.
