DESCRIPTION:
ADLab has discovered a vulnerability in KMPlayer, which can be
exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system.

The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error when processing
the "Title" entry within playlist files. This can be exploited to
cause a heap-based buffer overflow via a specially crafted KPL file.

Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code.

The vulnerability is confirmed in version 3.0.0.1441. Other versions
may also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Do not open untrusted playlist (".kpl") files.

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
ADLab, VenusTech via Secunia.
