Winamp < 5.13 Playlist Handling Multiple Overflows

high Nessus Plugin ID 20826

Synopsis

A multimedia application that is vulnerable to multiple buffer overflows is installed on the remote Windows host.

Description

The remote host is using Winamp, a popular media player for Windows.

It's possible that a remote attacker using a specially crafted M3U or PLS file can cause a buffer overflow in the version of Winamp installed on the remote Windows host, resulting in a crash of the application and even execution of arbitrary code remotely subject to the user's privileges. Note that these issues can reportedly be exploited without user interaction by linking to a '.pls' file in an IFRAME tag.

Solution

Upgrade to Winamp version 5.13 or later.
