SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA27270

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/27270/

CRITICAL:
Highly critical

IMPACT:
System access

WHERE:
>From remote

SOFTWARE:
Sony CONNECT Player (SonicStage) 4.x
http://secunia.com/product/10670/

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.
