Winamp Buffer Overflow Vulnerability
Last
Updated:
November 30, 1999
The new Buffer Overflow in Winamp is specifically in the IN_CDDA.dll file.
The vulnerability will give unauthorized users access so that they can take over your computer.
A boundardy error in the IN_CDDA.DLL file causes the vulnerability, and can be exploted in many ways to cause a stack-based buffer overflow error.
If a user visits a specific site with a custom playlist the exploit could be used, and the user's system may become compromoised.
Winamp versions 5.05 and Winamp 5.06 have been tested and prove to show that they ARE Exploitable, other versions were not tested but you must assume 5.x is exploitable and possible other versions as well.
How to fix the Winamp Exploit problem? Simple, install the Winamp provided patch.
