Winamp 5.63: Invalid Pointer Dereference leading to Arbitrary Code Execution

Winamp versión 5.63: una Desreferencia de Puntero No Válida conlleva a una Ejecución de Código Arbitrario.

An invalid pointer dereference vulnerability has been identified in WinAmp version 5.63. The application loads the contents of the %APPDATA%\WinAmp\links.xml on startup (the key lngId="default") and while browsing through the bookmarks in the Browser view of the GUI, but does not properly validate the length of the string loaded from the "" and "" keys before using them in a pointer call in the library gen_ff.dll, which leads to a invalid pointer dereference condition with possible code execution.
