Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Test
The remote host is using WinAMP3, a popular media player
which handles many files format (mp3, wavs and more...)
This version has a buffer overflow which may allow a possible hacker
to execute arbitrary code on this host, with the rights of the user
running WinAMP.

playlist (.b4s) to the user of this host who would then have to
load it by double clicking on it.
Since .b4s are XML-based files, most antivirus programs will let
them in.
