Linuxsampler · Libgig · CVE-2017-12954
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
libgig version 4.0.0
**Description**
The issue allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service, resulting in an invalid memory read and application crash, via a crafted gig file. This is due to a problem in the gig::Region::GetSampleFromWavePool function in gig.cpp.
**Recommendations**
For libgig version 4.0.0, consider avoiding the use of crafted gig files until a patch is available. As a temporary workaround, restricting access to the gig::Region::GetSampleFromWavePool function may help minimize the risk of exploitation. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this issue.
