Winamp < 5.601 MIDI Timestamp Stack-based Buffer Overflow

high Nessus Plugin ID 51091

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Windows host contains a multimedia application that is affected by stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability.

Description

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

The version of Winamp installed on the remote host is earlier than 5.601. Such versions are potentially affected by a stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability due to an error in the 'in_midi.ddl' plugin that improperly serializes timestamps in MIDI files. A malicious, crafted MIDI file can cause the application to overwrite the saved base pointer and allow execution of arbitrary code.

Solution

Upgrade to Winamp 5.601 or later.
