CVE-2026-1764
Localsearch: tracker-miners: gnome localsearch mp3 extractor: heap buffer overflow leads to denial of service or information disclosure when parsing mp3 files
A flaw was found in GNOME localsearch (previously known as tracker-miners) MP3 Extractor. When processing specially crafted MP3 files containing ID3v2.4 tags, a missing bounds check in the extract_performers_tags function can lead to a heap buffer overflow. This vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause a Denial of Service (DoS) by triggering a read of unmapped memory. In some cases, it could also lead to information disclosure by reading visible heap data.
