NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream timidity package and not the timidity package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:10 relevant fixed versions and status.

The play_midi function in playmidi.c in TiMidity++ 2.14.0 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (large loop and CPU consumption) via a crafted mid file. NOTE: CPU consumption might be relevant when using the --background option.
