Linux Distros Unpatched Vulnerability : CVE-2026-1767

medium Nessus Plugin ID 297664

Language:

Synopsis

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed with a vulnerability that the vendor indicates will not be patched.

Description

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

 - 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. (CVE-2026-1767)

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

Solution

There is no known solution at this time.
