Summary

Furnace through 0.6.8.3 contains an out-of-bounds write in DivEngine::loadFTM() that lets a crafted FamiTracker module corrupt heap memory. An unchecked subsong index in the GROOVES block lets the module write a groove pattern past the subsong vector (CWE-129). A local attacker needs a user to open the crafted file, and the result is a crash of Furnace when it opens the file.
