Yahoo! Player Playlist Processing Buffer Overflow

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA38871

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/38871/

DESCRIPTION:
Mr.tro0oqy has discovered a vulnerability in Yahoo! Player, which can
be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system.

The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error when processing
playlist entries. 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 1.5.01.409. Other versions
may also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Use another product.
