NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream libid3tag-devel package and not the libid3tag-devel package as distributed by Centos. See How to fix? for Centos:7 relevant fixed versions and status.

id3_utf16_deserialize() in utf16.c in libid3tag through 0.15.1b misparses ID3v2 tags encoded in UTF-16 with an odd number of bytes, triggering an endless loop allocating memory until an OOM condition is reached, leading to denial-of-service (DoS).
