Synopsis

The remote Windows host contains a multimedia application that is prone to a buffer overflow attack.

Description

The version of Winamp installed on the remote Windows host has a buffer overflow that may allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code on the remote host subject to the privileges of the user running Winamp.
