CVE-2017-11662
HighSummary
The _WM_ParseNewMidi function in f_midi.c in WildMIDI 0.4.2 can lead to denial of service through invalid memory read and application crash when processing a crafted mid file.
Risk Assessment
An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to remotely trigger application crashes, potentially leading to service availability interruptions.
Recommendation
It is recommended to update to a newer version of WildMIDI to mitigate this vulnerability and to monitor application logs for potential attack attempts.
Other vulnerabilities in WildMIDI 0.4.2
See all- CVE-2017-11661High
The _WM_SetupMidiEvent function in internal_midi.c in WildMIDI 0.4.2 can lead to denial of service through invalid memory reads and application crashes when processing a crafted MIDI file.
- CVE-2026-111163Medium
WildMIDI through 0.5.0 contains a heap out-of-bounds read vulnerability in _WM_ParseNewHmi() in src/f_hmi.c that reads past buffers when handling 0xfe sub-events. Attackers can supply a crafted HMI file placing a 0xfe 0x10 sub-event near the buffer end to read up to four bytes past the allocation, crashing the decoding application.
- CVE-2026-111162Medium
WildMIDI through 0.5.0 contains a heap out-of-bounds read vulnerability in the HMP parser _WM_ParseNewHmp() that allows attackers to read beyond buffers via underflowed chunk lengths. Attackers can supply a crafted .hmp file with a chunk length of 0-12 that wraps to roughly 4 GB, crashing applications or exposing heap bytes through WildMidi_GetInfo().
