Title: Nullsoft Winamp 'skin.xml' Skin File Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

Severity: HIGH

Description:

Nullsoft Winamp is a media player for Microsoft Windows.

The application is prone to a buffer-overflow vulnerability because it fails to perform adequate checks on user-supplied input. Specifically, the issue occurs when parsing a specially crafted 'skin.xml' skin file. Attackers can exploit this issue by enticing an unsuspecting user into loading a malicious skin onto the media player.

Attackers may leverage this issue to execute arbitrary code in the context of the application. Failed attacks will cause denial-of-service conditions.

Note that this issue may be related to BID 5832 (Nullsoft Winamp 3 Skin File Buffer Overflow Vulnerability).

Versions prior to Winamp 5.55 are vulnerable.
