Winamp 5.63 – Invalid Pointer Dereference
Inshell Security Advisory http://www.inshell.net 1. ADVISORY INFORMATION ----------------------- Product: WinAmp Vendor URL: www.winamp.com Type: Pointer Issues [CWE-465] Date found: 2013-06-05 Date published: 2013-07-01 CVSSv2 Score: 4,4 (AV:L/AC:M/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P) CVE: CVE-2013-4695 2. CREDITS ---------- This vulnerability was discovered and researched by Julien Ahrens from Inshell Security. 3. VERSIONS AFFECTED -------------------- WinAmp v5.63, older versions may be affected too. 4. VULNERABILITY DESCRIPTION ---------------------------- An invalid pointer dereference vulnerability has been identified in WinAmp v5.63. The application loads the contents of the %APPDATA%\WinAmp\links.xml on startup (the key lngId="default") and while browsing through the bookmarks in the Browser view of the GUI, but does not properly validate the length of the string loaded from the "<link name>" and "<home url>" keys before using them in a pointer call in the library gen_ff.dll, which leads to a invalid pointer dereference condition with possible code execution. An attacker needs to force the victim to place an arbitrary links.xml file into the target directory in order to exploit the vulnerability. Successful exploits can allow attackers to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the application. Failed exploits will result in a denial-of-service condition. 5.
