DESCRIPTION:
aBo MoHaMeD has discovered a vulnerability in Elecard MPEG Player,
which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's
system.

The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error when processing
M3U files and can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow
via an overly long M3U entry.

Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code, but
requires that the user is tricked into loading a malicious M3U file.

The vulnerability is confirmed in version 5.5 build 15884.081218.
Other versions may also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Do not load untrusted M3U files in Elecard MPEG Player.
