PlayMidi Local Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

A local buffer overflow vulnerability affects Playmidi. This issue is due to a failure of the an unspecified setuid utility that is packaged with the Playmidi suite to properly validate the length of user-supplied strings prior to copying them into static process buffers.

This BID will be updated as more information becomes available.

A local attacker may leverage this issue to execute arbitrary instructions with the privileges of the superuser. This may facilitate privilege escalation and potentially unauthorized access.
