Its currently based on the SoundFont 2 specifications and supports real time MIDI effect controls. It can be used as a shared library for embedding in other applications, can play MIDI files and has a command line shell. Many other applications use FluidSynth for audio synthesis.\r\n\r\nSecurity Fix(es):\n\nA heap-based buffer overflow was discovered in fluidsynth\u0026apos;s MIDI player. When the synth is configured with `synth.midi-channels \u0026gt; 16` an out-of-bounds memory access is performed on the array `_fluid_player_t::channel_isplaying` in heap memory invoking undefined behavior. No crafted MIDI file is required to expose this vulnerability.(CVE-2026-61714)\n\nAn unsigned integer overflow in fluidsynth\u0026apos;s SF2 parser was discovered. The DMOD chunk handler calculates modulator count as `chunk.size / SF_MOD_SIZE - 1`. When `chunk.size = 0`, the division yields 0 and the unsigned subtraction wraps to `UINT_MAX` (4,294,967,295). The guard check passes because `0 % 10 == 0`. The loop iterates billions of times, allocating an `SFMod` struct per iteration until causing a denial of service via out-of-memory.(CVE-2026-61720)\n\nFluidsynth\u0026apos;s native DLS loader sets sample loop points from file-sourced `wsmp.loop_start` and `wsmp.loop_length` values without calling `fluid_sample_validate()` or `fluid_sample_sanitize_loop()`. Crafted DLS files with loop values exceeding the sample buffer cause out-of-bounds reads during audio rendering, invoking undefined behavior and denial of service.(CVE-2026-61721)\n\nAn integer overflow was discovered in fluidsynth\u0026apos;s native DLS parser. The expression `cbsize + connblocks * 12` overflows for `connblocks = 0x40000001`. The loop reads 12 bytes per iteration for ~1 billion iterations (~12.8 GB total) past the chunk boundary.(CVE-2026-61722)\n\nAn integer overflow was discovered in fluidsynth\u0026apos;s native DLS parser. The ptbl chunk validation uses `uint32_t` arithmetic: `cues * 4 + cbsize != subchunk.size`. For `cues = 0x40000002` and `cbsize = 8`, the multiplication overflows: `0x40000002 * 4 = 0x100000008`, truncated to `0x8`. The check `8 + 8 = 16 == subchunk.size` passes. The subsequent `poolcues.resize(cues)` attempts a ~4GB allocation, and the loop reads billions of entries past the file\u0026apos;s chunk boundary.(CVE-2026-61723)","status":"published","published":"2026-07-24T11:12:02Z","modified":"2026-08-18T01:21:25.300385427Z","cvss":[{"version":"3.1","score":8,"vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:L/A:H","level":"high"}],"updated_at":"2026-11-02T15:52:46.823443Z"},{"id":"UBUNTU-CVE-2026-61722","description":"FluidSynth is a software synthesizer based on the SoundFont 2 specifications.
