TITLE:
Hero DVD Player M3U Processing Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA31933

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/31933/

CRITICAL:
Moderately critical

IMPACT:
System access

WHERE:
>From remote

SOFTWARE:
Hero DVD player 3.x
http://secunia.com/advisories/product/20075/

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

The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error within the
included Mplayer.exe binary when processing M3U files. This can be
exploited to cause a heap-based buffer overflow via an M3U file
containing an overly long entry.

Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code, but
requires that the user is tricked into loading a malicious M3U file.

The vulnerability is confirmed in version 3.0.8. Other versions may
also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Do not open untrusted M3U files using the application.

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
Parvez Anwar
