How to fix?

There is no fixed version for RHEL:6 taglib-doc.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream taglib-doc package and not the taglib-doc package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:6 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.
