    I recently found a buffer overflow in Winamp 2.73,
    it's in the way it parses *.AIP files... These files
    are set to download without a download confirmation,
    like m3u & pls, so they pose a security threat...
    (actually such exploits make winamp a backdoor)
    A demonstration of how the EIP can be snatched using
    an *.AIP has been attached (I have put the AIP in a
    ZIP this time to prevent it from being executed
    automatically)
    It is pretty likely that all versions of winamp that
    have been written until now are affected with the bug.
    
    Yours,
