DESCRIPTION:
Luigi Auriemma has reported a vulnerability in libmikmod, which
potentially can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a
user's system.
The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error within the
"loadChunk()" function in loaders/load_gt2.cs. This can be exploited
to cause a heap-based buffer overflow via a specially crafted GT2
file.
Successful exploitation may allow execution of arbitrary code.
The vulnerability has been reported in version 3.2.2. Other versions
may also be affected.
