Title: Nullsoft Winamp Tag Processing Remote Denial Of Service Vulnerability

Severity: MODERATE

Description:

Winamp is a freely available media player from Nullsoft. It is available for the Microsoft Windows platform.

Winamp is reported prone to a remote denial of service vulnerability. The issue is reported to present itself when '.mp4' and '.m4a' files that contain tags that have been edited using the Winamp tag-editing tool are processed.

When these files are processed an unhandled exception is raised in Winamp, this results in the Winamp application crashing. It is not known at this point whether this vulnerability may be exploited to any means other than a denial of service.

This BID will be updated as soon as further analysis of the vulnerability is complete.
