DESCRIPTION:
Brett Moore has reported a vulnerability in Winamp, which can be
exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system.

The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error in the
"IN_CDDA.dll" file. This can be exploited in various ways to cause a
stack-based buffer overflow e.g. by tricking a user into visiting a
malicious web site containing a specially crafted ".m3u" playlist.

Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code.

The vulnerability has been reported in version 5.05. Prior versions
may also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Update to version 5.0.6.
