Upgrade music-metadata to version 11.16.0 or higher.
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 Memory Allocation with Excessive Size Value via the ID3v2 tag parser in lib/id3v2/ID3v2Parser.ts, where a declared tag size in an ID3v2 header is not validated against the actual remaining file size before memory allocation. An attacker can supply an audio file with an inflated id3Header.size value, causing the parser to attempt allocation of an arbitrarily large buffer and crashing the process.
