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.

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 6 host has one or more packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities that have been acknowledged by the vendor but will not be patched.

  - taglib: Incorrect cast in rebuildAggregateFrames function (CVE-2017-12678)

  - The parse function in ogg/xiphcomment.cpp in TagLib 1.7 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a     denial of service (crash) via a crafted vendorLength field in an ogg file. (CVE-2012-1108)

  - 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 these issues but has instead relied on the package manager's report that the package is installed.

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 7 host has one or more packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability that has been acknowledged by the vendor but will not be patched.

  - taglib: Incorrect cast in rebuildAggregateFrames function (CVE-2017-12678)
