Vulnerability Assessment Details

MDKSA-2007:001: libmodplug

Vulnerability Assessment Summary
Check for the version of the libmodplug package

Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment

The remote host is missing the patch for the advisory MDKSA-2007:001 (libmodplug).

Multiple buffer overflows in MODPlug Tracker (OpenMPT) 1.17.02.43 and
earlier and libmodplug 0.8 and earlier permit user-assisted remote
attackers to execute arbitrary code via (1) long strings in ITP files
used by the CSoundFile::ReadITProject function in soundlib/Load_it.cpp
and (2) crafted modules used by the CSoundFile::ReadSample function in
soundlib/Sndfile.cpp, as demonstrated by crafted AMF files.
Updated packages are patched to address this issue.
