Stack-Based Buffer Overflow in MPlayer Lite by MPlayer Team

CVE-2011-10008

What is CVE-2011-10008?

A stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability exists in MPlayer Lite r33064 due to improper bounds checking when handling M3U playlist files with excessively long URL entries. This vulnerability allows an attacker to create a malicious .m3u file containing a specially crafted URL, which triggers a stack overflow when the player processes the playlist, especially through drag-and-drop interactions. Exploiting this flaw enables control over the execution flow through SEH overwrite, bypassing Data Execution Prevention (DEP) using a Return-Oriented Programming (ROP) chain that exploits known gadgets within loaded DLLs. If successfully exploited, this vulnerability may lead to arbitrary code execution with the same privileges as the current user.
