CVE-2026-105838

Status: DeferredMedium (6.8)—

libmikmod before 3.3.14 contains a heap out-of-bounds read vulnerability in the Impulse Tracker loader load_it.c that allows attackers to read adjacent heap memory via oversized patterns. Attackers can supply a crafted IT module with more than 200 pattern rows, causing IT_ConvertTrack() to read past the itpat buffer and crash applications.

CVSS

Exploitation probability (EPSS)

FIRST hasn't scored this CVE yet (usual for very recent or rejected CVEs).

EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, FIRST) estimates how likely a vulnerability is to be exploited in the wild within 30 days. It complements CVSS (impact) and CISA KEV (confirmed exploitation).
