Integer overflow in the mid function in toolkit/tbytevector.cpp in TagLib 1.7 and earlier allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted file header field in a media file, which triggers a large memory allocation.

Specially crafted ogg files could crash taglib

The following issue has been fixed :

  - specially crafted ogg files could have crashed taglib

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201206-16 (TagLib: Multiple vulnerabilities)

    Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in TagLib:
      The 'analyzeCurrent()' function in ape/apeproperties.cpp contains a         division by zero error (CVE-2012-1107).
      The 'parse()' function in inogg/xiphcomment.cpp contains an error         when processing the 'vendorLength' field (CVE-2012-1108).
      The 'mid()' function in toolkit/tbytevector.cpp contains an integer         overflow error (CVE-2012-1584).
  Impact :

    A remote attacker could entice a user or automated system to open a       specially crafted OGG file with an application using TagLib, possibly       resulting in a Denial of Service condition.
  Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time.

The following issue has been fixed :
