Specifically, the application fails to handle buffers when handling 'ultravox-max' and 'Lyrics3' tags. An attacker exploiting this flaw would need to be able to convince a user into perusing a malicious media server. Successful exploitation would give the attacker the ability to execute code with the privileges of the user running Winamp.Solution
