HTTP: CyberLink PowerDVD PlayList File Handling Stack Overflow

This signature detects attempts to exploit a known stack overflow vulnerability in CyberLink PowerDVD product. It is due to inadequate boundary checks when loading playlist files. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to create a stack overflow condition on the target system. Successful exploitation could lead to denial-of-service conditions. Upon processing a malicious playlist file, the PowerDVD process will terminate due to a stack overflow condition, which triggers a Denial of Service condition.
