What is CVE-2017-11664?

The _WM_SetupMidiEvent function in WildMIDI version 0.4.2 is susceptible to a denial of service condition due to improper handling of crafted MIDI files. An attacker can exploit this vulnerability by supplying a specially modified MIDI file, leading to an invalid memory read that crashes the application. This can disrupt user activities and compromise the availability of the service.

Exploit Proof of Concept (PoC)
