> DESCRIPTION:
> Piotr Bania has reported a vulnerability in Winamp, which potentially
> can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system.
> 
> The vulnerability is caused due to an error within LIBSNDFILE.DLL
> when handling .MAT (Matlab sound files) files. This can be exploited
> to overwrite an arbitrary memory location with a NULL byte when
> opening a specially crafted .MAT file.
> 
> Successful exploitation may allow execution of arbitrary code.
> 
> The vulnerability is reported in version 5.33. Other versions may
> also be affected.
> 
> SOLUTION:
> Do not open untrusted .MAT files.
