Media Commands playlist files buffer overflow
| mediacommands-playlist-bo (49035) |  High Risk |
Description:
Media Commands is vulnerable to multiple heap-based buffer overflows, caused by improper bounds checking when processing malicious playlist files. By persuading a victim to open a specially-crafted .m3u, .m3l or .lrc playlist file containing an overly long entry, a remote attacker could overflow a buffer and execute arbitrary code on the system or cause the application to crash.
