Discussion
Apollo 'm3u' Playlist File Heap Buffer Overflow Vulnerability
Apollo is prone to a heap-based buffer-overflow vulnerability because the application fails to bounds-check user-supplied data before copying it into an insufficiently sized buffer.
Attackers can execute arbitrary code in the context of the affected application. Failed exploit attempts will result in a denial-of-service condition.
Apollo 37zz is vulnerable; other versions may also be affected.
