Overview
music-metadata is a Music metadata parser for Node.js, supporting virtual any audio and tag format.
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Infinite loop through the parseExtensionObject process in the ASF parser when handling a sub-object with objectSize = 0. An attacker can cause the application to hang indefinitely by providing a specially crafted .asf file that triggers an infinite loop during parsing.
