What is CVE-2011-10025?

Subtitle Processor 7.7.1 suffers from a buffer overflow vulnerability in its .m3u file parser. When it encounters a maliciously crafted playlist file, the software fails to properly check the size of the input before copying it to a fixed-size stack buffer. This oversight allows an attacker to manipulate the application’s memory, potentially overwriting the Structured Exception Handler (SEH) and executing arbitrary code. This vulnerability exposes users to various security risks, thus necessitating immediate attention and mitigation.

Affected Version(s)

Subtitle Processor * <= 7.7.1

Exploit Proof of Concept (PoC)

PoC code is written by security researchers to demonstrate the vulnerability can be exploited. PoC code is also a key component for weaponization which could lead to ransomware.
