Amazon Linux 2023 : tracker-miners (ALAS2023-2026-1580)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 306227

Synopsis

The remote Amazon Linux 2023 host is missing a security update.

Description

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)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the tested product security advisory.

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

Solution

Run 'dnf update tracker-miners --releasever 2023.11.20260413' or or 'dnf update --advisory ALAS2023-2026-1580 --releasever 2023.11.20260413' to update your system.
