AI-suggested

Users should monitor vendor advisories for updates. Until a fix is available, avoid loading untrusted or unverified SoundFont files to reduce risk.

Description

FluidSynth versions through 2.6.1 have an out-of-bounds write vulnerability triggered by specially crafted SoundFont files with modulator destination values between 63 and 255. This flaw allows attackers to corrupt heap and stack memory, potentially causing crashes when the malicious SF2 file is loaded and played.
