Descriptions

Stack-based buffer overflow in stream_decoder.c in libFLAC before 1.3.1 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted .flac file.

Desbordamiento de buffer basado en pila en stream_decoder.c en libFLAC anterior a 1.3.1 permite a atacantes remotos ejecutar código arbitrario a través de un fichero .flac manipulado.

A buffer over-read flaw was found in the way flac processed certain ID3v2 metadata. An attacker could create a specially crafted FLAC audio file that could cause an application using the flac library to crash when the file was read.
