Winamp update fixes flaw
[...]
Published: February 24, 2006, 5:05 PM PST

Less than a month after releasing a security update to Winamp,
http://news.com.com/Serious+Winamp+flaw+gets+fix/2100-1002_3-6032787.html?tag=nl
Nullsoft has delivered a new version of the media player to plug
serious bugs. Winamp 5.2, issued Thursday, tackles a vulnerability in
the software's handling of m3u playlist files, according to a
developer posting on an online forum from Nullsoft, a division of
America Online:
http://forums.winamp.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=238648

An attacker could put together a specially crafted m3u playlist to
cause the computer to crash when the user pauses or stops play,
according to an advisory from Secunia:
http://secunia.com/advisories/18848

It may also allow an intruder to execute code. The "highly critical"
flaw affects the most recent versions of Winamp, versions 5.12 and
5.13, the security company said."

Crashes a lot, at least here. Also feels very bloated.
I'm returning to Winamp 5.09 which works flawlessly.
