Description:
Luigi Auriemma has reported a vulnerability in libmikmod, which potentially can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system.

The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error within the "loadChunk()" function in loaders/load_gt2.cs. This can be exploited to cause a heap-based buffer overflow via a specially crafted GT2 file.

Successful exploitation may allow execution of arbitrary code.

The vulnerability has been reported in version 3.2.2. Other versions may also be affected.
