CVE-2013-4233 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. Integer overflow in the abc_set_parts function in load_abc.cpp in libmodplug 0.8.8.4 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted P header in an ABC file, which triggers a heap-based buffer overflow.. EPSS estimates a 4.08% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
