| Detailed Description |
The WinAMP program, according to its version number, has a buffer overflow flaw which exists in versions 5.21 and earlier. Nullsoft Winamp is a freely available media player for Microsoft Windows platforms. Winamp version 5.21 and earlier versions are vulnerable to a buffer overflow vulnerability in the in_midi.dll library. A remote attacker could exploit these vulnerabilities by sending a specially-crafted midi file (.mid), and enticing unsuspecting users to process the file. It might allow the attacker to execute arbitrary code on the affected system or possibly cause a denial of service.
