REDHAT-BUG-614643: Buffer Overflow
First published: Wed Jul 14 2010(Updated: )
Multiple heap-based buffer overflow vulnerabilities were found in libmikmod. These flaws could allow a remote attacker able to coerce a local user using an application linked against libmikmod, to open an Impulse Tracker, crafted samples, or an Ultratracker file, to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the application. CVE-2009-3995: Multiple heap-based buffer overflows in IN_MOD.DLL (aka the Module Decoder Plug-in) in Winamp before 5.57, and libmikmod 3.1.12, might allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via (1) crafted samples or (2) crafted instrument definitions in an Impulse Tracker file. NOTE: some of these details are obtained from third party information. CVE-2009-3996: Heap-based buffer overflow in IN_MOD.DLL (aka the Module Decoder Plug-in) in Winamp before 5.57, and libmikmod 3.1.12, might allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via an Ultratracker file.
