This is incorrect. Kazaa itself does not install a handler for the
'sig2dat' URIs. In fact it doesn't even know about them. The sig2dat
URIs are created and handled by a third party tool [1] which contains
the described flaws and happens to be included in the (unofficial)
Kazaa Lite package.

The official Kazaa from http://www.kazaa.com does not handle sig2dat
URIs and is not vulnerable.

[1] sig2dat, http://www.geocities.com/vlaibb/tools.html
    (The design and code of this thing are horrific and there are no
    doubt plenty of other bugs to be found)
