Description

This module exploits a buffer overflow in MediaCoder 0.8.22. The vulnerability
occurs when adding an .m3u, allowing arbitrary code execution under the context
of the user. DEP bypass via ROP is supported on Windows 7, since the MediaCoder
runs with DEP. This module has been tested successfully on MediaCoder 0.8.21.5539
to 0.8.22.5530 over Windows XP SP3 and Windows 7 SP0.
