The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error when processing playlist files. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow via e.g. an M3U file having an overly long entry. Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code. The vulnerability is confirmed in version 3.0.0.9. Other versions may also be affected. SOLUTION: Do not open untrusted playlists.
