TITLE:
Winamp gen_msn Plugin Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA33425

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/33425/

CRITICAL:
Highly critical

IMPACT:
System access

WHERE:
From remote

SOFTWARE:
gen_msn 0.x (plugin for Winamp)
http://secunia.com/advisories/product/20941/

DESCRIPTION:
SkD has discovered a vulnerability in the gen_msn plugin for Winamp,
which can be exploited by malicious people to potentially compromise
a user's system.

The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error in gen_msn.dll
when processing overly long Winamp playlist entries. This can be
exploited to cause a buffer overflow by e.g. tricking the user into
opening a specially crafted playlist file.

Successful exploitation may allow execution of arbitrary code.

The vulnerability is confirmed in gen_msn version 0.31 with Winamp
5.541. Other versions may also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Do not open untrusted files or streams in Winamp with gen_msn
installed.
