CVE-2019-17113
In libopenmpt before 0.3.19 and 0.4.x before 0.4.9, ModPlug_InstrumentName and ModPlug_SampleName in libopenmpt_modplug.c do not restrict the lengths of libmodplug output-buffer strings in the C API, leading to a buffer overflow.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (2.75%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
