Multiple vulnerabilities have been identified in Winamp, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system.
- An error in bmp.w5s when allocating memory using values from the "strf" chunk to process BI_RGB video data within AVI files can be exploited to cause a heap-based buffer overflow.
- An error in bmp.w5s when allocating memory using values from the "strf" chunk to process UYVY video data within AVI files can be exploited to cause a heap-based buffer overflow.
- An error in bmp.w5s when processing decompressed TechSmith Screen Capture Codec (TSCC) data within AVI files can be exploited to cause a heap-based buffer overflow.
- Some unspecified errors in the in_mod.dll module when processing Impulse Tracker (IT) files can be exploited to corrupt memory.
