Affected software description:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Application : Midirecord
version     : 2
URL         : http://tuma.stc.cx/progs.php
Description :
Midirecord is a simple command-line application to record a MIDI file with your 
MIDI keyboard. It also features automatic recording to a MIDI file when you play 
electric piano, and thus it may be used as a "recording daemon".

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Vulnerability:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The function daemon in affected by a bufferoverflow which could allow
an attacker to execute malicious code from local.
The problem is caused by the copyung of a string of max 10 bytes in the filename
buffer of only 50 bytes.

------------------midirecord.cc-----------------------------
void daemon(FILE* fin)
{
   char filename[50];
   printf("Waiting for note-on event.\n");
   while(cont)
   {
        unsigned char status;
        fread(&status, 1, 1, fin); // read status
        if(status>>4 == 0x9)
        {
            get_datestr(filename);
            printf("Starting to record to %s.\n",filename);
            recordmidi(fin, filename);
            if(cont)
                printf("Finished. Starting to wait for note-on event.\n");
        }
   }

}
