- --------------------------BEGIN INCLUDED TEXT--------------------

A remotely exploitable buffer overflow condition in IN_CDDA.dll which ships as 
part of the Winamp Package has been discovered in version 5.05. The vulnerability 
allows an attacker to execute code of their choice using a number of methods such
as a malformed .m3u playlist.

This vulnerability allows an attacker to host a malformed .m3u playlist on a web 
site, which when accessed, will be automatically downloaded and opened in winamp
with no further user action required.

Nullsoft have released version 5.06 of Winamp which is reported to fix this 
vulnerability.  Users of Winamp are encouraged to upgrade to the latest version
of Winamp.

Brett Moore of Security-Assessment.com is credited with the discovery of this 
vulnerability.
