 |  Music file flaws could threaten traders Music file flaws could threaten traders security firm on Wednesday warned that people using Windows XP or popular music player WinAmp could fall prey to a vulnerability, enabling a modified music file to take control of a person's PC. Flaws in both pieces of software could introduce malicious MP3 or Windows Media files--which sound identical to unmodified music--into the file-swapping systems, said George Kurtz, CEO of Foundstone. "These particular vulnerabilities are definitely attack vectors for any people or entity that is looking to go after those that are taking part in file-swapping activities," he said. !!!!

 | Update: Winamp has been updated to fix this problem. The version available for download has been updated to version 3.0c even though the download name may not have changed. |
