Winamp < 5.03 Filename Handler Local Buffer Overflow

critical Nessus Plugin ID 16199

Synopsis

The remote application is vulnerable to a buffer overflow.

Description

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

The remote version of this software is vulnerable to a local buffer overrun when handling a large file name. This buffer overflow may be exploited to execute arbitrary code on the remote host.

An attacker may exploit this flaw by sending a file with a long file name to a victim on the remote host. When the user attempts to open this file using Winamp, a buffer overflow condition will occur.

Solution

Upgrade to Winamp 5.03 or later.
