TITLE:
Mercury Audio Player B4S Playlist Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA34957

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/34957/

DESCRIPTION:
His0k4 has discovered a vulnerability in Mercury Audio Player, which
can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system.

The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error in the processing
of B4S playlists. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer
overflow via a B4S (".b4s") file containing an overly long entry.

Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code.

The vulnerability is confirmed in version 1.21.04. Other versions may
also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Do not open untrusted files with the application.

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
