Quintessential · Quintessential Player · CVE-2006-6261
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Quintessential Player versions 4.50.1.82 and earlier
**Description**
The issue allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via crafted files, including M3u, M3u-8, or PLS files with long values in specific fields such as `NumberofEntries`, `Length`, `Filename`, or `Title`.
**Recommendations**
For versions 4.50.1.82 and earlier, consider avoiding the use of crafted M3u, M3u-8, or PLS files until a patch is available. As a temporary workaround, restrict the handling of files with long values in the `NumberofEntries`, `Length`, `Filename`, or `Title` fields to minimize the risk of exploitation. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this issue.
