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

The vulnerability is caused by a boundary error in
DefaultPlaylist.dll when parsing file names in playlists. This can be
exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow by tricking a user
into opening e.g. a specially crafted M3U playlist file.

Successful exploitation may allow execution of arbitrary code.

The vulnerability is confirmed in version 1.0 build 125. Other
versions may also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Do not open untrusted playlists.
