Base vector

AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Winamp versions 2.79 and earlier

Description A buffer overflow issue exists in the mini-browser of the affected software, which can be triggered by a long string in the title field of an ID3v2 tag. This can cause a denial of service, resulting in a crash, and potentially allow the execution of arbitrary code.

Recommendations For Winamp versions 2.79 and earlier, consider updating to a newer version to mitigate the risk of exploitation. As a temporary workaround, avoid using the mini-browser or restrict its use until a patch is available.
