Note: Verify declared build manifests and deployed runtime container environments.

Technical Details

Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis

This vulnerability is classified under CWE-119: Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer, where the product performs operations on a memory buffer, but it reads from or writes to a memory location outside the buffer's intended boundary. this may result in read or write operations on unexpected memory locations that could be linked to other variables, data structures, or internal program data. In Mp3 metadata, software state validation or input boundaries are circumvented during processing. Review the official source advisory statement below for specific affected components, classes, and reproduction details.

Source Advisory Statement

The `get_id3()` methods used by `mp3_metadata::read_from_slice()` does not perform adequate bounds checking when recreating the tag due to the use of desynchronization. Fixed in [Fix index error](https://github.com/GuillaumeGomez/mp3-metadata/pull/37), released as part of 0.4.0.
