DESCRIPTION:
securfrog has discovered a vulnerability in Nero Media Player, which
can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system.
The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error in
NeroMediaPlayer.exe when loading .M3U playlist files. This can be
exploited to cause a buffer overflow by e.g. loading a .M3U playlist
file containing an overly long URI string.
Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code.
The vulnerability is confirmed in version 1.4.0.35. Other versions
may also be affected.
SOLUTION:
Do not open untrusted .M3U files.
