The remote host is using Winamp, a popular media player for Windows.
The version of Winamp installed on the remote Windows host reportedly contains a buffer overflow in the MIDI plugin (‘in_midi.dll’) that can be exploited using a MIDI file with a specially crafted header to crash the affected application or possibly even execute arbitrary code remotely, subject to the privileges of the user running the application.
