What is CVE-2013-4694?
CVE-2013-4694 is a high-severity memory corruption vulnerability in Nullsoft Winamp, published on 16 Apr 2014. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.
Official description
Stack-based buffer overflow in gen_jumpex.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 ml_local.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.
