“Critical: Highly critical Impact: System access Where: From remote Solution Status: Unpatched

Software: dBpowerAMP Audio Player 2.x

dBpowerAMP Music Converter 10.x

James Bercegay has reported a vulnerability in dBpowerAMP Music Converter and Audio Player, which potentially can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user’s system.

The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error within the handling of filenames in playlists (”.pls” and “.m3u”) and Music Collection (”.mcc”) files. This can be exploited to cause a buffer overflow by e.g. tricking a user into opening a specially crafted playlist containing an overly long filename.

Successful exploitation may allow execution of arbitrary code.

The vulnerability has been reported in dBpowerAMP Music Converter 10.0 and Audio Player 2.0. Other versions may also be affected.
