DESCRIPTION:
Luigi Auriemma has discovered a vulnerability in Winamp Essentials
Pack, which can be exploited by malicious people to potentially
compromise a user's system.

The vulnerability is caused due to an error in f263.w5s when parsing
the "CustomWidth" and "CustomHeight" fields in H263 video content.
This can be exploited to cause a heap-based buffer overflow via a
specially crafted FLV file.

Successful exploitation may allow execution of arbitrary code.

The vulnerability is confirmed in version 5.6. Other versions may
also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Do not open untrusted files.
