Code execution via playlist SEH overwrite
Published Mar 22, 2026 · Updated Mar 22, 2026
Out-of-bounds write in Aviosoft DVD X Player 5.5 Pro allows local users to execute arbitrary code through a crafted PLF playlist. The PLF parser accepts a 2,000-byte attacker-controlled sequence that overwrites the structured exception handler after 608 bytes and redirects execution into embedded shellcode. A local user must cause the Windows application to process the crafted playlist; successful execution inherits the application's privileges.
