The Nullsoft Modern Skins Support module (gen_ff.dll) in Nullsoft Winamp before 5.552 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted MAKI file, which triggers an incorrect sign extension, an integer overflow, and a stack-based buffer overflow.

Security readout for executives and security teams

Winamp versions before 5.552 can be compromised when they process a malicious MAKI skin file. Successful exploitation could let an attacker run code with the user’s privileges. This is mainly a legacy endpoint risk where old Winamp installations still exist. Exposure is likely limited to endpoints or legacy systems with Winamp before 5.552 installed, especially where users can open downloaded skins or MAKI content. Treat as a targeted legacy software cleanup item. Prioritize remediation where Winamp exists on business endpoints, shared workstations, or systems handling untrusted downloads. Mitigation focus: Inventory endpoints for Winamp installations older than 5.552.; Upgrade Winamp to 5.552 or later where still required.; Remove Winamp from systems where there is no business need..
