Multiple vulnerabilities have been identified in Winamp, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system.

  1. An integer overflow error in the in_avi.dll plugin when allocating memory using the number of streams header value can be exploited to cause a heap-based buffer overflow via a specially crafted AVI file.

  2. An integer overflow error in the in_avi.dll plugin when allocating memory using the RIFF INFO chunk's size value can be exploited to cause a heap-based buffer overflow via a specially crafted AVI file.

  3. An error in the in_mod.dll plugin when parsing the song message data within Impulse Tracker (IT) files can be exploited to cause a heap-based buffer overflow.
    Successful exploitation of the vulnerabilities may allow execution of arbitrary code.
