Winamp < 5.31 Multiple Buffer Overflows

high Nessus Plugin ID 22921

Synopsis

The remote Windows host contains a multimedia application that is susceptible to multiple buffer overflow attacks.

Description

The remote host is using Winamp, a popular media player for Windows.

The version of Winamp installed on the remote Windows host reportedly contains two overflow flaws, one involving the 'ultravox-max-msg' header used in its support of the Ultravox protocol and the other in its Ultravox Lyrics3 parsing code. Using a specially crafted stream, a remote attacker may be able to leverage these issues to execute arbitrary code subject to the privileges of the user.

Solution

Upgrade to Winamp version 5.31 or later.
