libmodplug: boundary errors

Package(s):libmodplug CVE #(s):CVE-2006-4192
Created:December 11, 2006 Updated:May 4, 2011
Description: Luigi Auriemma has reported various boundary errors in load_it.cpp and a boundary error in the "CSoundFile::ReadSample()" function in sndfile.cpp. A remote attacker can entice a user to read crafted modules or ITP files, which may trigger a buffer overflow resulting in the execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the application.
