Discussion
GSPlayer '.m3u' File Remote Buffer Overflow Vulnerability
GSPlayer is prone to a remote 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.
GSPlayer 1.83a is vulnerable; other versions may also be affected.
