Description Matti Bickel (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2009-01-18 10:45:28 UTC 
From the debian bug by Brandon:

There is bug in mikmod that causes an app to segfault or abort when
loading multiple music files with varying number of channels. This is
the same bug that I reported, and fixed, almost a year ago in
SDL-mixer, which until recently used an internal version of a slightly
older libmikmod. Here is the (now archived) bug report:
http://bugs.debian.org/422021

Previously, I believed that the latest version of libmikmod, which
Debian uses, was unaffected by this bug. I had done some preliminary,
non-conclusive tests in this regard. I was wrong. Libmikmod is indeed
affected.
Comment 1 Matti Bickel (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2009-01-18 11:05:26 UTC 
We can include the debian patch or wait for upstream it seems.

Can you confirm and provide an updated ebuild, sound herd?

You might also want to check bug #252950 .

CVE-2007-6720 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2007-6720):
  libmikmod 3.1.9 through 3.2.0, as used by MikMod, SDL-mixer, and
  possibly other products, relies on the channel count of the last
  loaded song, rather than the currently playing song, for certain
  playback calculations, which allows user-assisted attackers to cause
  a denial of service (application crash) by loading multiple songs
  (aka MOD files) with different numbers of channels.

CVE-2009-0179 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2009-0179):
  libmikmod 3.1.11 through 3.2.0, as used by MikMod and possibly other
  products, allows user-assisted attackers to cause a denial of service
  (application crash) by loading an XM file.
