CVE-2012-1584  (opens in a new tab)
CWE-189  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:12 taglib to version 1.7.1-1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream taglib package and not the taglib package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:12 relevant fixed versions and status.

Integer overflow in the mid function in toolkit/tbytevector.cpp in TagLib 1.7 and earlier allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted file header field in a media file, which triggers a large memory allocation.
