FluidSynth: Remote code execution A vulnerability was found in FluidSynth that could result in remote code execution. fluidsynth 2021-07-15 2021-07-15 782700 remote 2.2.0 2.2.0

FluidSynth is a real-time synthesizer based on the Soundfont 2 specifications.

FluidSynth contains a use-after-free in sfloader/fluid_sffile.c which occurs when parsing Soundfile 2 files.

A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted Soundfont 2 file using FluidSynth, possibly resulting in execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the process or a Denial of Service condition.

There is no known workaround at this time.

All FluidSynth users should upgrade to the latest version:

# emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=media-sound/fluidsynth-2.2.0"
