Description: Fedora has issued an update for libid3tag. This fixes a vulnerability, which can be exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS (Denial of Service). The vulnerability is caused due to an error within the "id3_field_parse()" function in field.c. This can be exploited to trigger the execution of an infinite loop and the consumption of large amounts of memory via a malformed ID3_FIELD_TYPE_STRINGLIST field. Solution: Apply updated packages via the yum utility ("yum update libid3tag"). Provided and/or discovered by: Kentaro Oda Changelog: 2008-05-15: Added "Fedora 7" and "Fedora 8" to the list of affected products. Updated the "Original Advisory" section.
