Loading vulnerability…
A buffer overflow vulnerability exists in AudioCoder version 0.8.46, which can be triggered by processing a specially crafted .m3u playlist file. The vulnerability arises due to improper bounds checking when handling input from the .m3u file, allowing an attacker to overwrite memory and potentially control program execution.

This repository contains a single Metasploit module (audio_coder_m3u.rb) that exploits a buffer overflow vulnerability (CVE-2017-8870) in AudioCoder version 0.8.18.5353 on Windows XP SP3 and Windows 7 SP1. The exploit works by generating a specially crafted .m3u playlist file containing a long buffer, a SEH overwrite, and a customizable Metasploit payload. When a victim opens this file with a vulnerable version of AudioCoder, arbitrary code execution is achieved with the privileges of the user. The module is fully integrated into the Metasploit framework, allowing for easy payload customization and file generation. The attack vector is local, requiring user interaction to open the malicious file. The only fingerprintable endpoint is the crafted .m3u file itself.
