Description
This module exploits a stack-based buffer overflow on DVD X Player 5.5 Pro and
Standard. By supplying a long string of data in a plf file (playlist), the
MediaPlayerCtrl.dll component will attempt to extract a filename out of the string,
and then copy it on the stack without any proper bounds checking, which causes a
buffer overflow, and results in arbitrary code execution under the context of the user.
This module has been designed to target common Windows systems such as:
Windows XP SP2/SP3, Windows Vista, and Windows 7.
