Ez all ukbass crew Very Happy. There's a bug in the handling of .pls playlist files in winamp that lets attackers execute arbitrary code.
Information here: http://www.frsirt.com/english/advisories/2006/0361

if you happen to be one of the people who (for sake of simplicity,) have set .pls files to automatically open in winamp (eg. shoutcast tune-in links) you are a possible target.

get the updated version of winamp here http://www.winamp.com/player/free.php

------
As far as i can tell, Winamp 2.x is NOT affected by this exploit.

DJ's should not install Winamp 5.x as the streaming software is known to cause problems on Winamp 5.x Cool Cool Cool Idea

Sorry, I am a bit thick but I don't get it. In broadcasting live how do we use pls. files? And where can we find them in winamp?

I get the gist of ur post and I hit the link to the source, but I don't understand.

cheers
