Integer overflow in IN_MOD.DLL (aka the Module Decoder Plug-in) in Winamp before 5.57 might allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via an Oktalyzer file that triggers a heap-based buffer overflow.

It was discovered that libMikMod incorrectly handled songs with different channel counts. If a user were tricked into opening a crafted song file, an attacker could cause a denial of service.
(CVE-2007-6720)

It was discovered that libMikMod incorrectly handled certain malformed XM files. If a user were tricked into opening a crafted XM file, an attacker could cause a denial of service. (CVE-2009-0179)

It was discovered that libMikMod incorrectly handled certain malformed Impulse Tracker files. If a user were tricked into opening a crafted Impulse Tracker file, an attacker could cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user invoking the program. (CVE-2009-3995, CVE-2010-2546, CVE-2010-2971)

It was discovered that libMikMod incorrectly handled certain malformed Ultratracker files. If a user were tricked into opening a crafted Ultratracker file, an attacker could cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user invoking the program. (CVE-2009-3996).

Updated mikmod packages that fix multiple security issues are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3, 4, and 5.

The Red Hat Security Response Team has rated this update as having moderate security impact. Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base scores, which give detailed severity ratings, are available for each vulnerability from the CVE links in the References section.

MikMod is a MOD music file player for Linux, UNIX, and similar operating systems. It supports various file formats including MOD, STM, S3M, MTM, XM, ULT, and IT.

Multiple input validation flaws, resulting in buffer overflows, were discovered in MikMod. Specially crafted music files in various formats could, when played, cause an application using the MikMod library to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2009-3995, CVE-2009-3996, CVE-2007-6720)

All MikMod users should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain backported patches to correct these issues. All running applications using the MikMod library must be restarted for this update to take effect.

Dyon Balding discovered buffer overflows in the MikMod sound library, which could lead to the execution of arbitrary code if a user is tricked into opening malformed Impulse Tracker or Ultratracker sound files.

The remote host is running Winamp, a media player for Windows.  The version of Winamp installed on the remote host is earlier than 5.57.  Such versions are potentially affected by multiple vulnerabilities : 

  - A boundary error in the Module Decoder Plug-in exists when parsing samples and can be exploited to cause a heap-based buffer overflow via a specially crafted 'Impulse Tracker' file. (CVE-2009-3995)

  - An error in the Module Decoder Plug-in when parsing 'Ultratracker' files can be exploited to cause a heap-based buffer overflow. (CVE-2009-3996)

  - An integer overflow error exists in the Module Decoder Plug-in when parsing 'Oktalyzer' files and can be exploited to cause a heap-based buffer overflow.

  - Multiple integer overflow vulnerabilities in the 'jpeg.w5s' and 'png.w5s' filters when processing malformed 'JPEG' and 'PNG' data.
