Searching Nullsoft's support forums, I came across the announcement of 5.24:

  http://forums.winamp.com/showthread.php?threadid=248100

which links to Secunia's advisory SA20722 which in turn credits
BassReFLeX, who authored the Milw0rm exploit, while also saying it may
be related to Fortinet's advisory. Unfortunately, there is no such
detail in the announcement of 5.22:

  http://forums.winamp.com/showthread.php?threadid=247003

Also, for grins I tested BassReFLeX's exploit against 5.23 (successful)
and  5.24 (not).

So, I think it's safe to say there are two issues here. Or maybe one.
But definitely not three. :-)
