Description

This module exploits a stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability in
MPlayer Lite r33064, caused by improper bounds checking of an URL entry.

By persuading the victim to open a specially-crafted .M3U file, specifically by
drag-and-dropping it to the player, a remote attacker can execute arbitrary
code on the system.
