Title: PowerDVD '.m3u' and '.pls' File Multiple Buffer Overflow Vulnerabilities

Severity: HIGH

Description:

PowerDVD is an application for playing DVDs; it is available for Microsoft Windows.

The application is prone to multiple buffer-overflow vulnerabilities because it fails to perform adequate boundary checks on user-supplied input. These issues occur when handling malformed '.m3u' and '.pls' files.

Successfully exploiting these issues may allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code in the context of the application. Failed exploit attempts will cause denial-of-service conditions.

PowerDVD 8.0 is vulnerable; prior versions may also be affected.

Affected Products:

  • CyberLink PowerDVD 8.0
