http://secunia.com/product/15314/

DESCRIPTION:
Wouter Coekaerts has reported a vulnerability in XMMS-Control, which
can be exploited by malicious people to bypass certain security
restrictions.

The vulnerability is caused due to XMMS-Control not correctly
filtering id3 tags before sending them to XChat. This can be
exploited to e.g. send arbitrary commands to a server by tricking a
user into playing and announcing a specially crafted MP3 file.

The vulnerability is reported in version 0.33. Other versions may
also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Do not play and announce untrusted audio files. Use another product.
