TITLE:
CoolPlayer M3U File Processing Buffer Overflow

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA31294

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/31294/

CRITICAL:
Highly critical

IMPACT:
System access

WHERE:
>From remote

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

DESCRIPTION:
Guido Landi has 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 when processing
.M3U files. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer
overflow when loading an .M3U file containing an overly long string
(greater than 260 bytes).

Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code.

The vulnerability is confirmed in version 219. Other versions may
also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Do not load untrusted .M3U files.
