Mandriva Linux Security Advisory : libid3tag (MDVSA-2008:103)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 37269

Synopsis

The remote Mandriva Linux host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

field.c in the libid3tag 0.15.0b library allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU and memory consumption) via an ID3_FIELD_TYPE_STRINGLIST field that ends in '', which triggers an infinite loop.

The updated packages have been patched to correct this.

Solution

Update the affected packages.
