HTTP: Nullsoft Winamp Ultravox Streaming Metadata Parsing Overflow
This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability in Nullsoft Winamp Ultravox. A successful attack can lead to a buffer overflow and arbitrary remote code execution within the context of the process's user.
Extended Description
Winamp is prone to multiple stack-based buffer-overflow vulnerabilities because the application fails to properly bound-check user-supplied data before copying it to an insufficiently sized memory buffer. Successful exploits allow attackers to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the vulnerable application. Failed exploit attempts will likely result in denial-of-service conditions. These issues affect Winamp 5.51, 5.5, and 5.21; other versions may also be vulnerable.
