| Detailed Description |
The WinAMP program, according to its version number, has a remote buffer overflow vulnerability.
Winamp is a media player for Microsoft Windows. Winamp version 5.05 and possibly earlier versions are vulnerable to a stack-based buffer overflow, caused by a failure of the application to properly check bounds of user-supplied input in the "IN_CDDA.dll" file. An attacker could exploit these vulnerabilities by creating a malicious Web page containing a specially crafted ".m3u" playlist and hosting it on a Web site or by sending it to a victim as an HTML email. If successfully exploited, an attacker could overflow a buffer and execute arbitrary code on the system.
* Note: This check requires an account with administrative privileges which can log into the host to scan. Absence of these condition will result in the check not being performed and a False Negative for all vulnerable hosts.
