Dear 3APA3A,

I didn't mentioned any DoS in my advisory. I clearly
stated that it is a "bug" that will cause an
exception/crash. It is a kind of Null/invalid ptr deref.
The same kind as this is:

http://www.securityfocus.com/archive/1/434280

and not much different than this:

http://www.securityfocus.com/archive/1/461373

Nothing more. The main difference is that it was
"implemented" by the vendor.

http://www.bsplayer.org/en/bs.player/news/new/?article=21&BSPLAYER=76f1ff40d5a7f9f2f44a66edc209ac2a

Thanks for your interest anyway.

Sincerelly,
Edi Strosar (Team Intell)
