Description:
Wouter Coekaerts has reported a vulnerability in Another xmms-info script, which can be exploited by malicious people to bypass certain security restrictions.

The vulnerability is caused due to Another xmms-info script not correctly filtering id3 tags before sending them to XChat. This can be exploited to e.g. send arbitrary commands to a server by tricking a user into playing and announcing a specially crafted MP3 file.

The vulnerability is reported in version 1.0. Other versions may also be affected.
