MP3 worm

Windows XP and Winamp users should beware the latest MP3 worms.

"Two new security vulnerabilities, disclosed late Wednesday, allow an attacker to completely take over a computer system by using malicious music files.
The first vulnerability is present in the Microsoft Windows XP operating system. This vulnerability can be exploited when a user simply lets the cursor hover over the file icon for the malicious MP3, or opens a folder where the file is stored.
The second is found in Nullsoft's Winamp, a popular Windows media jukebox player."

There's a patch available for XP users, and Nullsoft has released fixed versions of Winamp to download.
