WARNING! Latest MP3 / XP vulnerability
First of all, sorry it's not exactly realated to music discussion and if you already read about it today.
There's a serious hole that was discovered in WinXP and Winamp. This would allow a complete control of the system without even executing a file! The issue is discussed on wired.com:
