CVE-2010-2971

HIGH 9.3EPSS 3.69%

Does this matter?

High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (3.69%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.

Description

loaders/load_it.c in libmikmod, possibly 3.1.12, does not properly account for the larger size of name##env relative to name##tick and name##node, which allows remote attackers to trigger a buffer over-read and possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted Impulse Tracker file, a related issue to CVE-2010-2546. NOTE: this issue exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2009-3995.
