Arbitrary code execution via overlong playlist URL
Published Jul 31, 2025 · Updated Apr 7, 2026
Stack-based buffer overflow in MPlayer Lite r33064 allows remote attackers to execute code via a crafted M3U playlist. The .m3u file parser accepts an overlong http:// URL entry without adequate bounds checking, overwriting stack data and the SEH record. A user must drag and drop or otherwise open the malicious playlist; successful exploitation runs code with the current user's privileges.
