CVE-2011-1574 describes a stack-based buffer overflow in the ReadS3M method of libmodplug, affecting versions prior to 0.8.8.2, including its use in products like VideoLAN VLC Media Player. This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by tricking a user into opening a specially crafted S3M file.
