A vulnerability exists in Winamp 5.55 and prior versions that support Modern Skins. The vulnerability is due to an incorrect type cast while parsing a.maki file (a compiled script file), causing a buffer overflow. An attacker could provide a user with a modern skin (via a webpage download for example) that uses the maki script to execute arbitrary code within the context of the current user. AOL then released Winamp version 5.552 with the fix. This issue now has a Bugtraq entry available here.”]
