Title: BlazeVideo HDTV PLF Stack Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

Severity: HIGH

Description:

BlazeVideo HDTV is a high-definition television player for Microsoft Windows.

BlazeVideo HDTV is prone to a stack-based buffer-overflow vulnerability because the application fails to properly handle malformed playlist files.

Specifically, when the application attempts to process malformed PLF playlist files containing excessively long filenames, memory may become corrupted. A filename of 257 or more bytes is sufficient to trigger this issue.

An attacker can exploit this issue to execute arbitrary code within the context of the application or to trigger a denial-of-service condition.

BlazeVideo HDTV 2.1 and prior versions are vulnerable to this issue.

Affected Products:

  • BlazeVideo BlazeVideo HDTV 2.1
