in Denial of Service. |
20 |
|
21 |
Background |
22 |
========== |
23 |
|
24 |
TagLib is a library for reading and editing audio meta data. |
25 |
|

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). |
43 |
* The "mid()" function in toolkit/tbytevector.cpp contains an integer |
44 |

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. |
