|
Just an FYI .. I've noted a lot of people running Winamp in the 2.7 range ... its very important to get to winamp 2.8 (or above if by then) as 2.7 and lower have a bug in the 'mini browser' component.
While the bug shouldn't cause you problems on Streaming Soundtracks because the MP3's are from a known clean source, it could cause you problems if you're 'sampling' mp3's from various unknown sources... ie file sharing networks...
quoted from CNet:
http://news.com.com/2100-1023-895429.html
"A bug in the code of Winamp 2.79 allows a specially formed data tag in an MP3 file to cause a buffer overrun in the application, which could be exploited to run any piece of code the attacker wishes. The glitch was posted to the Bugtraq security mailing list Friday by Andreas Sandblad, a Swedish engineering student." _________________ -T2 |
