descriptionThe remote host is using Winamp, a popular media player for Windows. The version of Winamp installed on the remote Windows host reportedly crashes if the user tries to open an M3U file with a long filename. In addition, it reportedly contains a buffer overflow flaw that can be exploited using a specially crafted M3U file to either crash the application or possibly even execute arbitrary code remotely.
