DESCRIPTION:
Alexander Gavrun has discovered a vulnerability in Winamp, which can
be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system.
The vulnerability is caused due to an integer underflow error when
processing System Exclusive (SysEx) MIDI messages. This can be
exploited to cause a heap-based buffer overflow via a specially
crafted MIDI file.
Successful exploitation may allow execution of arbitrary code.
The vulnerability is confirmed in version 5.61. Other versions may
also be affected.
SOLUTION:
Do not open MIDI files from untrusted sources.
