CoolPlayer CPLI_ReadTag_OGG buffer overflow
| coolplayer-cplireadtagogg-bo (39325) |  High Risk |
Description:
CoolPlayer is vulnerable to a stack-based buffer overflow, caused by improper bounds checking by the CPLI_ReadTag_OGG function. By creating a specially-crafted playlist file containing an overly long argument and persuading a victim to open the file, a remote attacker could overflow a buffer and execute arbitrary code on the system or cause the application to crash.
