New upstream release, largely to address security issues related to ogg xiphcomments and ape sampleRate=0.

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Fedora security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Specially crafted ogg files could crash 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 :

  - Specially crafted ogg files could have crashed taglib

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 following issue has been fixed :

  - specially crafted ogg files could have crashed taglib
