IMPACT:
System access

SOFTWARE:
Realtek Media Player (RtlRack) 1.x
http://secunia.com/advisories/product/20786/

DESCRIPTION:
shinnai has discovered a vulnerability in Realtek Media Player
(RtlRack), which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a
user's system.

The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error in the processing
of playlist files. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer
overflow by tricking the user into loading an overly large playlist.

Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code.

The vulnerability is confirmed in rtlrack.exe version 1.15.0.0. Other
versions may also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Do not load untrusted playlist (".pla") files using the application.
