Light Alloy '.m3u' File Remote Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

Light Alloy is prone to a remote buffer-overflow vulnerability because it fails to properly bounds-check user-supplied data before copying it into an insufficiently sized buffer.

An attacker can exploit this issue to execute arbitrary code in the context of the affected application. Failed exploit attempts will likely result in denial-of-service conditions.

Light Alloy 4.7.3 is vulnerable; other versions may also be affected.
