The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error when parsing PLF playlist files containing an overly long file name (greater than 256 bytes). This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow via a specially crafted playlist file. Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code. The vulnerability is confirmed in Blaze DVD 5.0 Professional and Standard versions. Other versions may also be affected. SOLUTION: Do not open untrusted playlists.
