CVE-2006-3879

26
FAUCET Score

CVE-2006-3879 describes an integer overflow vulnerability in the libmikmod library, specifically within the loadChunk function of Mikmod Sound System 3.2.2, affecting products like miod_vallat mikmod. This flaw allows remote attackers to trigger a denial of service by providing a crafted GRAOUMF TRACKER (GT2) module file containing an excessively large comment length in an XCOM chunk. With a CVSS score of 5.0 (AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P), it represents a medium severity issue, requiring no authentication and having low attack complexity, but only leading to a denial of service. While there is no evidence of active exploitation or Metasploit/Nuclei modules, a proof-of-concept for a local heap overflow related to the GT2 loader exists on ExploitDB, though community discussion and media coverage are minimal.
