Updated libcue packages fix a security vulnerability

Publication date: 23 Oct 2023
Modification date: 23 Oct 2023
Type: security
Affected Mageia releases : 8 , 9
CVE: CVE-2023-43641

Description

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. (CVE-2023-43641)
