===============
1) Introduction
===============


DUMB is an open source player library for the IT, XM, S3M and MOD file
formats.

======
2) Bug
======


it_read_envelope is the function called by it_read_instrument for
reading the envelope values for volume, pan and pitch of each
instrument in the IT (Impulse Tracker) file if it's major or equal than
version 0x200.

The function reads an 8 bit value (envelope->n_nodes) which describes
the number of nodes in the envelope and then starts to read them using
8 bit for node_y and 16 for node_t.

The problem is that both node_y and moreover node_t have a fixed size of
25 elements allocated when the number of instruments in the IT file is
read initially.

The memory allocated is that of the IT_INSTRUMENT structure which
already contains the three IT_ENVELOPE structures used for volume, pan
and pitch.

The amount of data needed to overflow the allocated memory is about 371
bytes, from the end of pitch_envelope to the end of map_sample, which
means we need to specify at least about 213 n_nodes for causing the
heap overflow.
