In TagLib 1.11.1, the rebuildAggregateFrames function in id3v2framefactory.cpp has a pointer to cast vulnerability, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted audio file.

There are packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities referenced in the following CVEs:

  - In TagLib 1.11.1, the rebuildAggregateFrames function in id3v2framefactory.cpp has a pointer to cast
    vulnerability, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified
    other impact via a crafted audio file. (CVE-2017-12678)

  - The TagLib::Ogg::FLAC::File::scan function in oggflacfile.cpp in TagLib 1.11.1 allows remote attackers to
    cause information disclosure (heap-based buffer over-read) via a crafted audio file. (CVE-2018-11439)

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

  - In TagLib 1.11.1, the rebuildAggregateFrames function in id3v2framefactory.cpp has a pointer to cast     vulnerability, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified     other impact via a crafted audio file. (CVE-2017-12678)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.

The remote Debian 9 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the dla-2772 advisory.

  - In TagLib 1.11.1, the rebuildAggregateFrames function in id3v2framefactory.cpp has a pointer to cast     vulnerability, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified     other impact via a crafted audio file. (CVE-2017-12678)

  - The TagLib::Ogg::FLAC::File::scan function in oggflacfile.cpp in TagLib 1.11.1 allows remote attackers to     cause information disclosure (heap-based buffer over-read) via a crafted audio file. (CVE-2018-11439)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

According to the versions of the taglib package installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - The TagLib::Ogg::FLAC::File::scan function in     oggflacfile.cpp in TagLib 1.11.1 allows remote     attackers to cause information disclosure (heap-based     buffer over-read) via a crafted audio     file.(CVE-2018-11439)

  - In TagLib 1.11.1, the rebuildAggregateFrames function     in id3v2framefactory.cpp has a pointer to cast     vulnerability, which allows remote attackers to cause a     denial of service or possibly have unspecified other     impact via a crafted audio file.(CVE-2017-12678)
