Description
CVE-2026-110875 is a heap-based buffer overflow vulnerability in AdPlug through version 2.4. The flaw exists in the CksmPlayer::update() function in src/ksm.cpp, where a fixed-size buffer databuf[2048] is overwritten without proper bounds checking. An attacker can exploit this by supplying a crafted .ksm module with notes that share a time slot, causing memory corruption and denial of service.
