Description David Walser 2012-04-09 02:55:28 CEST

Patched package uploaded.

Advisory:
========================

Updated taglib packages fix security vulnerabilities:

When parsing an Ogg file, a specially crafted Ogg file with control
over the "vendorLength" field could cause a string allocation with
that size.  Control over the "commentFields", which is the number of
times that "commentLength" is read, would allocate a string of size
"commandLength", which could cause an application linked to taglib to
crash (CVE-2012-1108).

Taglib suffers from an integer overflow flaw when parsing file header
fields.  A file with a crafted header could cause a large allocation
and crash the application (CVE-2012-1584).
