Ez all ukbass crew . 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

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
