Advisory Content (Page 1 of 3)[ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ]

Description:
Some vulnerabilities have been discovered in Winamp, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system.

1) A boundary error in the included libsndfile library can be exploited to cause a buffer overflow.

For more information see vulnerability #1 in:
SA35076

2) An integer overflow error exists in the processing of MP4 files. This can be exploited to cause a heap-based buffer overflow via e.g. an MP4 file containing a specially crafted "ctts" box.

Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code.

The vulnerabilities are confirmed in version 5.552. Prior versions may also be affected.
