>user - now is a good time for the delete key!
>
>Warning: critical Winamp vuln
>Security researchers are warning of a serious - and unfixed - security hole
>with the popular Winamp media player. A remotely exploitable stack based
>buffer overflow creates a means for hackers to take over machines running
>Winamp- providing they can trick users into running maliciously constructed
>files. The details on the story are in the links provided - the problem is
>similar to the IE buffer overflow condition.
