Buffer Overflow
AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:H

A flaw was found in the GNOME localsearch (previously known as tracker-miners) MP3 Extractor tracker-extract-mp3 component. A remote attacker could exploit this heap buffer overflow vulnerability by providing a specially crafted MP3 file containing malformed ID3 tags. This incorrect length calculation during the parsing of performer tags can lead to a read beyond the allocated buffer, potentially causing a Denial of Service (DoS) due to a crash or enabling information disclosure.

Buffer Overflow
AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:H

A flaw was found in GNOME localsearch (previously known as tracker-miners) MP3 Extractor, specifically within the tracker-extract-mp3 component. This heap buffer overflow vulnerability occurs when processing specially crafted MP3 files containing malformed ID3v2.3 COMM (Comment) tags. An attacker could exploit this by providing a malicious MP3 file, leading to a denial of service (DoS), which causes an application crash, and potentially disclosing sensitive information from the heap memory.

Buffer Overflow
AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:H

A flaw was found in GNOME localsearch (previously known as tracker-miners) MP3 Extractor. When processing specially crafted MP3 files containing ID3v2.4 tags, a missing bounds check in the extractperformerstags function can lead to a heap buffer overflow. This vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause a Denial of Service (DoS) by triggering a read of unmapped memory. In some cases, it could also lead to information disclosure by reading visible heap data.
