Winamp skin flaw allows PC takeover
Thursday, 26 August 2004

Watch your Winamp installations closely if you're downloading & installing new skins, guys. It's apparently the new way to gain complete control over an unsuspecting user's PC....

"That's the lesson for Winamp users, after a group of security researchers discovered that spyware makers are using a flaw in the way the multimedia software loads graphical themes, or skins, to infect PCs with their wares. The digital music player--made by America Online subsidiary Nullsoft, whose informal mascot is the llama--improperly allows the skin files to run programs."
