Description:
SkD has discovered a vulnerability in the gen_msn plugin for Winamp, which can be exploited by malicious people to potentially compromise a user's system.
The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error in gen_msn.dll when processing overly long Winamp playlist entries. This can be exploited to cause a buffer overflow by e.g. tricking the user into opening a specially crafted playlist file.
Successful exploitation may allow execution of arbitrary code.
The vulnerability is confirmed in gen_msn version 0.31 with Winamp 5.541. Other versions may also be affected.
