TITLE:
RainbowPlayer Playlist Processing Buffer Overflow Vulnerability
SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA34240
VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/34240/
DESCRIPTION:
His0k4 has discovered a vulnerability in RainbowPlayer, which can be
exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system.
The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error when loading
playlists. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer
overflow via a playlist file (".rpl") containing an overly long
entry.
Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code.
The vulnerability is confirmed in version 0.91. Other versions may
also be affected.
SOLUTION:
Do not load untrusted ".rpl" files.
