Description:
Debian has issued updated packages for mikmod. These fix a vulnerability, which potentially could be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system.
The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error. This can be exploited to cause a buffer overflow by including a file with an overly long, specially crafted filename inside an archive.
Successful exploitation requires that a user is tricked into reading the malicious archive using mikmod.
