Following news item in SANS Institute News Bulletin

Adware makers can exploit a flaw in Winamp to place their stealth
programs on people's computers. The problem stems from the fact that
Winamp allows skin files to run programs. Winamp is a digital music
player made by Nullsoft, an AOL subsidiary. The company is aware of the
vulnerability but has not yet come up with a fix.
