Winamp < 5.0.7 Multiple File Handling DoS

low Nessus Plugin ID 15952

Synopsis

The remote host is vulnerable to denial of service attacks.

Description

The remote host is using Winamp, a popular media player that handles many file formats (mp3, wavs and more...)

The remote version of this software is vulnerable to denial of service attacks when it processes malformed .mp4 / .m4a or .nsv / .nsa files.

An attacker may exploit this flaw by sending malformed files to a victim on the remote host.

Solution

Upgrade to Winamp version 5.0.7 or later.
