There is a SEH overflow vulnerability caused by using unsafe strcpy() function in xmlconfig.cpp file. A simple fix to this is to replace strcpy() with strncpy() and set a fix length for the URL field at 256.
This ensures that tsingsee/EasyPlayerPro all versions v3.2.19.0106 and v3.6.19.0823 is not vulnerable to a SEH overflow, mainly caused by the usage of unsafe strcpy() function in xmlconfig.cpp file LoadConfig() function, where strcpy() is used to copy over the user controlled URL field in EasyPlayerPro.xml. This leads to a Denial of Service (DoS) exploitation and may lead to arbitrary code execution (RCE) via SEH/stack buffer overflow.
