Nullsoft Scriptable Install System (NSIS) before 3.09 mishandles access control for an uninstaller directory.
Heap-based buffer overflow in genmsn.dll in the genmsn plugin 0.31 for Winamp 5.541 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a playlist (.pls) file with a long URL in the File1 field. NOTE: some of these details are obtained from third party information.
Multiple buffer overflows in Winamp 5.541 and earlier allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary code via (1) a large Common Chunk (COMM) header value in an AIFF file and (2) a large invalid value in an MP3 file.
Integer overflow in libsndfile 1.0.18, as used in Winamp and other products, allows context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary code via crafted description chunks in a CAF audio file, leading to a heap-based buffer overflow.
Winamp 3.0 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a .b4s file with a playlist name that contains some non-English characters, e.g. Cyrillic characters.
Winamp 3.0 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via .b4s file with a file: argument to the Playstring parameter that contains MS-DOS device names such as aux.
Multiple buffer overflows in Winamp 3.0 allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a .b4s file containing (1) a long playlist name or (2) a long path in a file: argument to the Playstring parameter.
Buffer overflow in NullSoft Shoutcast Server 1.9.2 allows local users to cause a denial of service via (1) icy-name followed by a long server name or (2) icy-url followed by a long URL.
The INMIDI.DLL plugin 3.01 and earlier, as used in Winamp 2.91, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a MIDI file with a large "Track data size" value.
Winamp 2.80 stores authentication credentials in plaintext in the (1) [HTTP-AUTH] and (2) [winamp] sections in winamp.ini, which allows local users to gain access to other accounts.
Winamp 2.65 through 3.0 stores skin files in a predictable file location, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a URL reference to (1) wsz and (2) wal files that contain embedded code.
Buffer overflow in the version update check for Winamp 2.80 and earlier allows remote attackers who can spoof www.winamp.com to execute arbitrary code via a long server response.
Buffer overflow in Winamp client allows remote attackers to execute commands via a long entry in a .pls file.
Nullsoft SHOUTcast server stores the administrative password in plaintext in a configuration file (scserv.conf), which could allow a local user to gain administrative privileges on the server.
NSIS (Nullsoft Scriptable Install System) 3.06.1 before 3.12 sometimes uses the Low IL temp directory when executing as SYSTEM, allowing local attackers to gain privileges (if they can cause myGetTempFileName to return 0, as shown in the references).
Stack-based buffer overflow in genjumpex.dll in Winamp before 5.64 Build 3418 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a package with a long Skin directory name. NOTE: a second buffer overflow involving a long GUI Search field to mllocal.dll was also reported. However, since it is only exploitable by the user of the application, this issue would not cross privilege boundaries unless Winamp is running under a highly restricted environment such as a kiosk.
Winamp 5.666 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption and crash) via a malformed .FLV file, related to f263.w5s.
Multiple heap-based buffer overflows in AOL Nullsoft WinAmp before 5.31 allow user-assisted remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted (1) ultravox-max-msg header to the Ultravox protocol handler or (2) unspecified Lyrics3 tags.
Nullsoft Scriptable Install System (NSIS) before 3.11 on Windows allows local users to escalate privileges to SYSTEM during an installation, because the temporary plugins directory is created under %WINDIR%\temp and unprivileged users can place a crafted executable file by winning a race condition. This occurs because EWCREATEDIR does not always set the CreateRestrictedDirectory error flag.
Buffer overflow in Winamp 2.64 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via a long #EXTINF: extension in the M3U playlist.
Buffer overflow in SHOUTcast Server 1.8.2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via several HTTP requests with a long (1) user-agent or (2) host HTTP header.
Buffer overflow in WINAMP 2.6x and 2.7x allows attackers to execute arbitrary code via a long string in an AIP file.
SHOUTcast 1.8.9 and earlier allows local users to obtain the cleartext administrative password via a GET request to port 8001, which causes the password to be logged in the world-readable scserv.log file.
Buffer overflow in XML parser in wsabi.dll of Winamp 3 (1.0.0.488) allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a skin file (.wal) with a long include file tag.
Buffer overflow in Winamp 2.81 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a long Artist ID3v2 tag in an MP3 file.
Multiple buffer overflows in Winamp 3.0, when displaying an MP3 in the Media Library window, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via an MP3 file containing a long (1) Artist or (2) Album ID3v2 tag.
Buffer overflow in SHOUTcast 1.8.9 and other versions before 1.8.12 allows a remote authenticated DJ to execute arbitrary code on the server via a long value in a header whose name begins with "icy-".
Buffer overflow in the mini-browser for Winamp 2.79 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a long string in the title field of an ID3v2 tag.
Cross-site scripting vulnerability in the mini-browser for Winamp 2.78 and 2.79 allows remote attackers to execute script via an ID3v1 or ID3v2 tag in an MP3 file.
Winamp 2.78 and 2.77, when opening a wma file that requires a license, sends the full path of the Temporary Internet Files directory to the web page that is processing the license, which could allow malicious web servers to obtain the pathname.
