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

Published Jun 16, 2026 CVSS 3.1 · 5.6 Medium EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
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.
