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.

Weakness

The product performs an iteration or loop without sufficiently limiting the number of times that the loop is executed.
