The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error in the processing of playlist files. This can be exploited to cause a heap-based buffer overflow via e.g. an M3U file having an overly long entry. Successful exploitation may allow execution of arbitrary code. The vulnerability is confirmed in version 37.0.0.0. Other versions may also be affected. SOLUTION: Do not open untrusted playlists. Use another product as the vendor has discontinued the support.
