libid3tag: Denial of Service

libid3tag: Denial of Service A Denial of Service vulnerability was found in libid3tag. libid3tag May 14, 2008 May 14, 2008: 01 210564 remote 0.15.1b-r2 0.15.1b-r2

libid3tag is an ID3 tag manipulation library.

Kentaro Oda reported an infinite loop in the file field.c when parsing an MP3 file with an ID3_FIELD_TYPE_STRINGLIST field that ends in '\0'.

A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted MP3 file, possibly resulting in a Denial of Service.

There is no known workaround at this time.

All libid3tag users should upgrade to the latest version:


    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=media-libs/libid3tag-0.15.1b-r2"
