A flaw in WinAmp player opens the door for crackers to seize control of vulnerable systems.

The vulnerability has been confirmed on a fully patched system with WinAmp 5.04 using Internet Explorer 6.0 on Microsoft Windows XP SP1. WinAmp 3.x users are also potentially in peril & is reportedly being actively exploited in the wild.

Secunia describes the flaw as "extremely critical" & advises WinAmp users to use an alternative product.
