11/24/04: Stop Using Winamp

Winamp Flaw Allows Attacks by Ryan Naraine -- Users of America Online Inc.'s Winamp media player are at risk of remote code execution attacks because of a flaw in the software, according to a warning from a security research firm.

The flaw, which Secunia rates as "highly critical," has been reported in Winamp versions 5.05 and 5.06. Prior versions also may be affected. --

Ironically, I stopped using Winamp under a week ago. As much as I dislike AOL, Winamp was what I knew and was accustomed to. Of course, these days I use linux much more than windows, so I'm all XMMS. For a media player in windows though, I really like Quintessential Player . Give it a try.

I've been weary of WinAmp ever since AOL bought it. I really think that AOL doesn't really care whether it lives or dies. Maybe it will go open source and become a beautiful product like what's happened with Mozilla.
