CVE-2023-43641

Libcue is intended for parsing a so-called cue sheet from a char string or a file pointer. For handling of the parsed data a convenient API is available.

Security Fix(es):

libcue provides an API for parsing and extracting data from CUE sheets. Versions 2.2.1 and prior are vulnerable to out-of-bounds array access. A user of the GNOME desktop environment can be exploited by downloading a cue sheet from a malicious webpage. Because the file is saved to ~/Downloads, it is then automatically scanned by tracker-miners. And because it has a .cue filename extension, tracker-miners use libcue to parse the file. The file exploits the vulnerability in libcue to gain code execution. This issue is patched in version 2.3.0.(CVE-2023-43641)

These are all security issues fixed in the libcue-devel-2.3.0-1.1 package on the GA media of openSUSE Tumbleweed.

This update for libcue fixes the following issues:

• CVE-2023-43641: Fixed a buffer overflow while parsing a malicious file (bsc#1215728).

It was discovered that CUE incorrectly handled certain files. An attacker could possibly use this issue to expose sensitive information or execute arbitrary code.
