Several vulnerabilities that can lead to the execution of arbitrary code
have been discovered in libmodplug, a library for mod music based on
ModPlug. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies
the following issues:
CVE-2011-1761
epiphant discovered that the abc file parser is vulnerable to several
stack-based buffer overflows that potentially lead to the execution
of arbitrary code.
CVE-2011-2911
Hossein Lotfi of Secunia discovered that the CSoundFile::ReadWav
function is vulnerable to an integer overflow which leads to a
heap-based buffer overflow. An attacker can exploit this flaw to
potentially execute arbitrary code by tricking a victim into opening
crafted WAV files.
CVE-2011-2912
Hossein Lotfi of Secunia discovered that the CSoundFile::ReadS3M
function is vulnerable to a stack-based buffer overflow. An attacker
can exploit this flaw to potentially execute arbitrary code by
tricking a victim into opening crafted S3M files.
