Detail
| Erik Sjölund discovered that abcmidi-yaps, a translator for ABC music description files into PostScript, does not check the boundaries when reading in ABC music files resulting in buffer overflows. For the old stable distribution (woody) these problems have been fixed in version 17-1woody1. For the stable distribution (sarge) these problems have been fixed in version 20050101-1sarge1. For the unstable distribution (sid) these problems will be fixed soon. We recommend that you upgrade your abcmidi-yaps package. |

|---|---|
| 24974 | abcMIDI ABC Music File Handling Overflow A local overflow exists in abcMIDI. The product fails to limit the bytes read by sscanf in drawtune.c and yapstree.c resulting in a buffer overflow. With a specially crafted .ABC file, an attacker can cause the program to crash or possibly execute arbitrary code resulting in a loss of integrity or availability for the program. |
