The vulnerability is caused due to an integer overflow within the "CSoundFile::ReadMed()" function in src/load_med.cpp when loading MED files. This can be exploited to cause a heap-based buffer overflow by e.g. opening a specially crafted MED file in an application using the library. The vulnerability is reported in versions prior to libmodplug 0.8.6. SOLUTION: Update to version 0.8.6.
