Ubuntu Linux - [Heap Buffer Overflow in GNOME localsearch MP3 Extractor (TXXX Tags)]

It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2023-2026-1580 advisory.

    A flaw was found in GNOME localsearch MP3 Extractor. When processing specially crafted MP3 files     containing ID3v2.4 tags, a missing bounds check in the `extract_performers_tags` 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. (CVE-2026-1764)

    A flaw was found in the `tracker-extract-mp3` component of GNOME localsearch. This vulnerability, a heap     buffer overflow, occurs when processing specially crafted MP3 files. A remote attacker could exploit this     by providing a malicious MP3 file, leading to a Denial of Service (DoS) where the application crashes. It     may also potentially expose sensitive information from the system's memory. (CVE-2026-1765)

    A flaw was found in GNOME localsearch 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. (CVE-2026-1766)

    A flaw was found in the GNOME localsearch 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. (CVE-2026-1767)
