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.
