CVE-2007-6720

17
FAUCET Score

CVE-2007-6720 describes a denial-of-service vulnerability in libmikmod versions 3.1.9 through 3.2.0, affecting products like MikMod and SDL-mixer. The flaw arises because libmikmod incorrectly uses the channel count of the last loaded song for playback calculations, rather than the currently playing one. An attacker can exploit this by enticing a user to load multiple MOD files with varying channel counts, leading to an application crash. The vulnerability has a CVSS score of 4.3, indicating a medium attack complexity and partial availability impact, with no confidentiality or integrity impact. There is no evidence of active exploitation, public exploit code, or significant community discussion surrounding this CVE.
