Until a fix is available, restrict access to directories monitored by ReadyMedia and consider disabling automatic parsing of new files if possible.
Description
ReadyMedia (formerly MiniDLNA) versions 1.3.0 through 1.3.3 have a stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability triggered by a crafted DFF audio file with an oversized PROP chunk size. This flaw allows remote attackers to corrupt stack memory and potentially execute code or cause denial of service when the file is automatically parsed by ReadyMedia's inotify monitoring.
