Introduction ------------ WinAMP is a popular Windows sound player with support for many file formats (MP3, wave files, modules). It also supports MP3 streaming (let's call it sh0utcast). Description of the problem -------------------------- If we tell WinAMP to open file location (Ctrl+L) which is over 256 bytes long, it'll produce nice GPF. The bug also appears when loading playlists (.m3u and .pls) What can we do with this bug? ----------------------------- Many sh0utcast radios place .pls files on their websites, which contain URL for radio's sh0utcast server. If we'll make b00m.pls file like this... [playlist] NumberOfEntries=1 File1=AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA... (about 256 A's) and put such link... <A HREF="b00m.pls">Techno explosion -- The Coolest MP3 Radio</A> on our website, we can make couple of WinAMPs crash. I suppose, that there's a possibility to put our own code in the filename (see cDc-351 for details). Nullsoft (producer of WinAMP) has been noticed about the bug two versions ago. -- wojtekkaat_private :: http://wojtekka.stone.pl/ :: ^wojtekka@ircnet
