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.
