Description
Multiple buffer overflows in Winamp 5.541 and earlier allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary code via (1) a large Common Chunk (COMM) header value in an AIFF file and (2) a large invalid value in an MP3 file.
Public exploits
Exploit or proof-of-concept code for this vulnerability is publicly available, which lowers the bar for attackers. Treat it as a reason to patch sooner.
Third-party code, not reviewed by us. Public PoCs are sometimes fake or contain malware. Read the code first and run it only in an isolated lab, against systems you are authorised to test.
