Description: Two vulnerabilities have been discovered in Winamp, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system. 1) An integer overflow in the Ultravox protocol handler during processing of the "ultravox-max-msg" header can be exploited to cause a heap-based buffer overflow via a specially crafted Ultravox server response. 2) An integer overflow during the parsing of certain Lyrics3 tags can be exploited to cause a heap-based buffer overflow via a specially crafted MP3 file. The vulnerabilities are confirmed in version 5.3. Versions 2.666 through 5.3 are reportedly vulnerable. Solution: Update to version 5.31. http://www.winamp.com/player/ Provided and/or discovered by: Discovered by an anonymous person and reported via iDefense Labs.
