TITLE:
PatPlayer M3U Playlist Parsing Buffer Overflow

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA35756

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/35756/

DESCRIPTION:
Cyber-Zone has discovered a vulnerability in PatPlayer, which can be
exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system.

The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error when parsing
playlist content. This can be exploited to cause a heap-based buffer
overflow via a specially crafted playlist containing an overly long
string.

Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code.

The vulnerability is confirmed in version 3.9. Other version may also
be affected.

SOLUTION:
Do not open untrusted playlists.
