Multiple heap-based buffer overflows in the (1) abc_MIDI_drum and (2) abc_MIDI_gchord functions in load_abc.cpp in libmodplug 0.8.8.4 and earlier allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption and crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted ABC.
Conclusion & alert: CVE-2013-4234 is rated High Exploit Risk (74.9/100): CVSS Medium severity, with medium exploitation likelihood (EPSS 4.35%). Core evidence: 2 public exploit reference(s) are indexed (Exploit-DB). EPSS rose +1.27% over the last day, indicating growing attacker interest. Mandatory action: Public exploits are available—assess exposure, apply mitigations, and prioritize patching.
Risk is dynamic; we continuously reassess and refresh what is shown on this page as upstream context changes.
