CVE-2002-0547
Buffer overflow in the mini-browser for Winamp 2.79 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a long string in the title field of an ID3v2 tag.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (3.25%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
