| Detailed Description |
A version of WinAMP program which is older than 5.58 has been installed on the host. AOL Nullsoft Winamp is a freely available media player for Microsoft Windows platforms. Winamp versions prior to 5.58 could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the affected host, caused by improper handling of 'VP6' files. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability by creating a specially-crafted VP6 file, 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.
* 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.
