16 ========
17
18 Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in TagLib, possibly resulting
19 in Denial of Service.
20
21 Background
22 ==========
23
24 TagLib is a library for reading and editing audio meta data.
25
26 Affected packages
27 =================
28
29 -------------------------------------------------------------------
30 Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
31 -------------------------------------------------------------------
32 1 media-libs/taglib < 1.7.1 >= 1.7.1
33
34 Description
35 ===========
36
37 Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in TagLib:
38
39 * The "analyzeCurrent()" function in ape/apeproperties.cpp contains a
40 division by zero error (CVE-2012-1107).
41 * The "parse()" function in inogg/xiphcomment.cpp contains an error
42 when processing the "vendorLength" field (CVE-2012-1108).

45
46 Impact
47 ======
48
49 A remote attacker could entice a user or automated system to open a
50 specially crafted OGG file with an application using TagLib, possibly
51 resulting in a Denial of Service condition.
52
53 Workaround
54 ==========
55
56 There is no known workaround at this time.
57
58 Resolution
59 ==========
60
61 All TagLib users should upgrade to the latest version:
62
63 # emerge --sync
64 # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=media-libs/taglib-1.7.1"
65
66 Packages which depend on this library may need to be recompiled. Tools
67 such as revdep-rebuild may assist in identifying some of these
68 packages.
