Assigner: VulnCheck

Description
SPlayer version 3.7 and earlier is vulnerable to a stack-based buffer overflow when processing HTTP responses containing an overly long Content-Type header. The vulnerability occurs due to improper bounds checking on the header value, allowing an attacker to overwrite the Structured Exception Handler (SEH) and execute arbitrary code. Exploitation requires the victim to open a media file that triggers an HTTP request to a malicious server, which responds with a crafted Content-Type header.

Can you explain this vulnerability to me?

This vulnerability is a stack-based buffer overflow in SPlayer version 3.7 and earlier. It happens when the software processes HTTP responses that contain an excessively long Content-Type header. Due to improper bounds checking on this header value, an attacker can overwrite the Structured Exception Handler (SEH), which can lead to arbitrary code execution. To exploit this, a victim must open a media file that causes SPlayer to make an HTTP request to a malicious server that sends a specially crafted Content-Type header.


How can this vulnerability impact me? :

This vulnerability can allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code on the affected system without requiring privileges or user interaction beyond opening a media file. This could lead to system compromise, data theft, or installation of malware.
